According to reports, the Detroit Lions have agreed to trade quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams. But did the Motor City get the fair market value they wanted for their longtime starting passer?

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Lions will receive a former first-round pick in quarterback Jared Goff as part of the exchange. Detroit will also get a haul of future draft selections, including the Rams’ first-round picks in both 2022 and 2023. The Lions will also receive a third-round selection in April’s draft.
