Remember, Goff was a net-negative in that deal, so the Rams gave up even more than it seems. The Packers won't take on a dead weight contract like that with Love in the fold and their awful cap situation.
Rodgers is 38. I know he had a great year, and I wouldn't wanna see him in a Broncos jersey, but it shouldn't be considered a lock he's gonna be great for 3-4-5 more years. Not at all. Especially depending on the situation he's in.

This is just wrong.
Stafford’s body has been on the verge of breaking down for quite some time. That alone makes the risk about the same. The age difference is also irrelevant when we’re talking about a guy that hasn’t ever won a playoff game versus a guy coming off an MVP season.
Rodgers might be 38, but he’s shown no signs of slowing down. You might have a point if he were coming off a down year, but this is the complete opposite of that. There’s really no comparison between 2020 Stafford and 2021 Rodgers.
Also, like I said, there will absolutely be a bidding war which will only raise the price.
You have teams like Pittsburgh, Indy, and Las Vegas that are a QB away from being a SB contender and you think they’re just going to sit back and let the Broncos get Rodgers for a bargain?
The Raiders alone will drive the price up significantly, as not only do they need Rodgers, they absolutely wouldn’t want him to be a Bronco.
