The first blockbuster trade of the 2024 NFL season may be approaching. Rumors indicate that the Los Angeles Rams are close to trading Matthew Stafford to a surprising NFC team in the coming days.

There hasn’t been such an impactful trade in recent years as Matthew Stafford’s move to the Rams in 2021. After being acquired from the Detroit Lions, Stafford made a huge impact in LA, completely transforming the team.

In his debut season with the Rams, Stafford led them to victory in Super Bowl LVI against the Bengals. However, the following seasons have not gone as well, and now it seems likely he will leave the team for another NFC contender.
