Who doesn’t want to win lol.

Player parts ways with x team, but let it be noted he does not care where he goes because he’s ambivalent about wining

Too bad Green Bay loves the 4th and inches soft fucking zone otherwise he’d be an amazing addition if Rodgers stayed

He’s looking for one final payday that the Rams can’t give him.

I'm sure there are players that care more about the community they live in than winning games as well. I know they don't technically have to live full time in or around their team's city, but playing for a team has to be a much more attractive prospect if you also enjoy living in the area.

I think it can vary. A lot of players after performing well on rookie deals will go basically wherever they can get the most money. Then after making that, once they’re getting older, may be willing to take a cheaper deal with a contender to try and add a Super Bowl ring to their career.

Lions are looking for a veteran FA for their rookie LB class to learn off of. Would be nice.

There are sooooo much waste space of comments and questions in sports media I am just waiting for someone to be brutally honest on draft night:

  • some coach that just straight up says "nah this kid ain't ready to be drafted"

  • a dad that says he is not proud of his son

Stop being willfully obtuse.

There are plenty of players who want the most money possible regardless of team. I mean its a job for them at the end of the day so it makes sense.

Saying X Free Agent wants to go somewhere to win is a completely normal thing to say.

Rams went from Super Bowl to dumpster fire in record time. Who knew that you needed draft picks to sustain a franchise?

Not sure what the contract details were but I’m pretty sure if he wanted to he could have just stayed and they would have had to pay him the rest of the guaranteed money. He just finished year one of a five year contract.

Do you need to be reminded of a certain qb who ended up going to a crappy team he said he didn’t want to go to until they gave him a record breaking fully guaranteed contract.

I think this is a bad take. They returned a lot of the team from last year. Just couldn’t get through all of the injuries. O line was a mess from day 1 and not having von miller obviously hurts. But I don’t think the first round picks (or lack thereof I should say) sank the rams this past year.

Most players rhat have the luxury to choose between getting a bigger payday or playing to win a title are already the top of the top.

Everyone else is just trying to get the most they can, which is what anyone would do in that position.

9-8, between eight and eleventh best Super Bowl odds for next season depending on which sports website you go with. It’s looking good but our history has the whole base reasonably skeptical.

I think about this “wants to win” notion and laugh and laugh. JJ Watt “wanted to win” when he left Houston, but chose the 8-8 Cardinals over the 13-3 Bills because the Cards offered him $10million dollars.

As they should. I’m not trying to get employee of the month, I want the biggest paycheck.

A Super Bowl ring is a great memory and a cool story to talk about a couple decades down the road. But I’d rather talk about a 8-9 season from my winter home.

Head line seems off, being the career norm for the position is about 10 good years.

this is a meme comment made by a meme person

teams are bad until they're good. that transition already happened for the Lions last season, unless you forgot to watch football for the entire year

their primary need is defensive studs. If Wagner to the Lions doesn't happen it's only because it makes too much sense, and those deals never seem to happen

This point gets overblown bc players end up paying state taxes based on each state they play in. It’s still different bc you’ll play ~50% of games in one state but not as extreme as you think.

And even with as well as he played, the difference wasn't that massive. It's great when you draft a standout middle linebacker but paying one big money in free agency doesn't make a whole lot of sense. They're the runningbacks of defence.

Incredible player but he's only been in the post season once, right? Hell do the Angels even get above 0.500 records these last few years?

Frankly, the Angels have two HoF caliber players on their team and they're not even a winning team. Some serious problems there.

Rams defense has better players rn, his last year in Seattle was bad bc he was playing with a bunch of scrubs. Not to mention Bobby had a massive chip on his shoulder for getting cut.

Most players don't like losing and will play hard to try and win etc but care more about money/where they live etc. Its not that they don't want to play on a good they just rank it lower than other stuff. It often used more for end of career players and means more, "they want to win now".
