Matthew Stafford considers the Los Angeles Rams a viable contender in his trade market, sources told ESPN this past Friday.
“Matthew Stafford considers the Rams a viable contender in his trade market with the Lions,” Fowler reported. “While it’s unclear what the Rams can do with Jared Goff’s long-term deal on the books, they’ve explored the possibilities with Stafford.”
One wonders what the Los Angeles Rams have in store for Jared Goff and his long-term contract since trading him would cost $22.2 million and cutting him would be even worse, with $65.2 million in dead money.
Rams general manager Les Snead said earlier this week that “anything can be done” in a salary-cap system when asked if it would be possible to move on from the former No. 1 pick.
Goff appeared to fall out of favor with the team late in the season. Since being in the league in 2016, Goff has 18,171 passing yards, 107 touchdown passes, and 55 interceptions.
Stafford and the Lions mutually agreed that it was time to part ways this offseason, which would end his career for a team he threw 45,109 yards and 282 touchdowns with 144 interceptions for.
