    Les Snead & Joe Hortiz + QB Contract Uncertainties

    On the latest Move the Sticks, Daniel Jeremiah is joined by Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead and Los Angeles Chargers GM Joe Hortiz to discuss their teams heading into this season and dive in to scouting strategies. Snead shares the thought process behind the Rams travel plans for Week 1 in Australia, what went into getting Aaron Donald back, what he’s seen from Myles Garrett heading into the season and what he likes in running backs and wide receivers to fit LA’s scheme. Next, Hortiz dives into what Mike McDaniel has brought to the Chargers, how Justin Herbert is different this season, all-time great comparisons for Joe Alt and Omarion Hampton plus a classic Kirby Smart story. Lastly, PDJ breaks down how several QBs are facing uncertain contract futures and are playing for a pay day in 2026, including CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Baker Mayfield and more.
