Irvine, Calif. – Former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford apparently had little doubt he would play football this season. He had even less doubt he would play for the Los Angeles Rams.

And when other teams called to inquire about trading for the Super Bowl champion, Stafford says he made it clear where he preferred to be.

“I see it as flattering, I guess, that other teams would reach out and want me to come play for them,” Stafford said.
