I still remember where I was and many other details from the moment when I first heard the news. For essentially an entire night and the next morning, the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams had the attention of the entire football world.
The Lions, who were in complete rebuild mode with the arrival of new general manager Brad Holmes, had made the decision to trade quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff and three draft picks. I am sure many fans felt gutted at the time, and understandably so. At the same time, this roster was in a really bad place after the years prior to Campbell and Holmes getting to town, so the move almost felt necessary.
