There are many players that fans could consider the future of the NFL, and after being taken second overall in the 2023 NFL draft and outplaying 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young, CJ Stoud is being heavily considered as a player who could become the future GOAT.
Stroud outplayed a lot more than just other rookies in 2023. Unfortunately, due to injuries, Aaron Rodgers was forced out of the season after less than a quarter of play, while the 22-year-old went on to set rookie records all over the board.
Not only did Stroud outplay Rodgers, but it seems he doesn’t believe the Jets’ relatively new signal-caller is all that great of a quarterback after making a statement while speaking with on The Million Dollarz Woth of Game podcast.
In a clip posted to X, Stroud claimed that he believes the four-time MVP was only successful due to the system he was in. Stroud states that current Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford could have three or four more rings if he played in the same system.
CJ Stroud Claims Aaron Rodgers Is Overrated
While he doesn’t say the exact quote, the Texans gunslinger might as well have called the ten-time Pro Bowler overrated. So far, if we’re comparing stats, in Rodgers’ rookie year, he didn’t get nearly as much playing time or attention as Stroud did while leading Houston back to the playoffs.

In one NFL season, Stroud threw for over 4,100 yards while adding 23 touchdowns compared to just five interceptions. That earned him the NFL’s Rookie of the Year award. In his 18 seasons in Green Bay, Rodgers has accumulated over 59,000 passing yards, 475 touchdowns, and just 105 interceptions.
Stroud has a lot more left to do throughout his NFL career. In 20 years time, we can revisit this video and decide whether the young quarterback had reason to make these claims. But until then, we’ll let the play do the talking.
Bills GM Brandon Beane Finally Reveals Shocking Reason Behind The Team’s Decision To Trade Superstar WR Stefon Diggs To Texans

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane offered a surprise reason behind the team’s decision to trade All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans earlier this offseason.
Last month, the Bills traded Stefon Diggs, along with two late-round picks, to the Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round draft choice. Diggs then agreed to a reworked deal with Houston that will make him a free agent after the 2024 season.
There had been growing speculation that Diggs was unhappy in Buffalo, and that his antics were becoming too much for the team. But during his appearance on “The Athletic Football Show”, Beane offered a completely different reason behind the decision to trade his Pro Bowl wideout.
Beane cited the salary cap as the main factor behind the trade, noting that Buffalo didn’t want to have too much money tied up into one player:
“A player of his caliber, you weigh a lot of things in those situations. But ultimately, we just talked about the cap. I don’t need to go through all the reasons why we decided to go ahead and do that. I would say, from a cap standpoint, we decided just to go ahead and eat it now.
We think we can compete and do what we need to do by eating it now. And not next year. Because if we didn’t, if we tried to come up with some way to split it up too many different ways, then now it’s just like that albatross hanging on your neck all year. You look at your cap and you’re going, Look how much money we still have dead.”

In trading Stefon Diggs, the Bills took on a massive $31.096 dead money hit for 2024. But his old deal with Buffalo was set to run through 2027, so the trade helps their cap situation in the long term.
Over his four seasons in Buffalo, Diggs compiled 445 receptions for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns. He exceeded the 100-catch and 1,100-yard marks every year, helping Buffalo to four straight AFC East division crowns.
Stefon Diggs Trade Was Best For All Parties
Stefon Diggs didn’t appear to be all that keen on staying in Buffalo long-term, and the Bills had to decide if he was in or out long-term. On top of that, quarterback Josh Allen became overly reliant on Diggs in the passing game, so a trade just made too much sense for everyone involved.
Buffalo was able to reshape their receiving room following the Diggs trade. The new faces include Curtis Samuel, rookie Keon Coleman and two-time Super Bowl champion Marques Valdes-Scantling.
Diggs, meanwhile, gets the chance to shine on an up-and-coming Texans team led by superstar quarterback CJ Stroud. If he fares well there, Diggs might play himself towards a contract extension.
