THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2020 season with a top-ranked defense worthy of a Super Bowl title.
Now they hope the addition of Matthew Stafford in a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Lions they also have a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback.
The Rams traded quarterback Jared Goff, two future first-round picks and a third-round pick to the Lions in exchange for Stafford, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal will be official at the start of the league year on March 17.
With Stafford, who will turn 33 next month, the Rams hope to revive an offense that propelled them to consecutive division titles and a Super Bowl LIII appearance at the end of the 2018 season but that has fallen into mediocrity the past two seasons.
