"We could let our m***********g nuts hang, and go trade for this f*****g QB" - Reporter claims a drunk Sean McVay FaceTimed Rams chiefs to get Matthew Stafford deal sorted out

ESPN reporter Seth Wickersham recently detailed how a drunk Sean McVay was able to get a deal for Matthew Stafford over the line.

Last season, the Los Angeles Rams upgraded their quarterback position when they acquired Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions. Stafford was traded to the Rams in a package that included Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick, and two first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. The deal paid dividends as they went on to win the Super Bowl.

Wickersham detailed how talks between McVay and Rams executives went down. He explained that McVay, after downing a few tequilas, FaceTimed the Rams brass regarding a move for Stafford.

"'Here's the f---ing deal, OK? We can sit here and exist, and be OK winning nine to 11 games, and losing in the f---ing divisional round and feel like, 'Oh, everything's OK,'" McVay was quoted saying by Wickersham.

"Or, we could let our motherf---ing nuts hang, and go trade for this f---ing quarterback, and give ourselves a chance to go win a f---ing world championship. You ready to f---ing do this or what?'"

A day later, Stafford was a Ram.

The Rams may have just won the Super Bowl, but they're heading into the 2022-23 season in a far from ideal position. Matthew Stafford is reportedly dealing with a problematic elbow, which could sideline him for the start of the season.

Jourdan Rodrigue, who covers the Rams for The Athletic, reported that the injury was "abnormal for a QB."

Rams could also be without wide receiver Van Jefferson at the start of the season due to a nagging knee injury. Los Angeles faces the Buffalo Bills on opening night.
