The Detroit Lions were reportedly motivated to trade Matthew Stafford before the Super Bowl with Josina Anderson tweeting on Saturday morning that the team was hoping a “sucker” would “overpay.”
Agree that they are a “sucker” or not, the LA Rams came away with Stafford by Saturday evening, trading two firsts, a third, and Jared Goff in exchange for the veteran quarterback. Peter Schrager, who worked closely with the Rams in 2020 and had a weekly podcast with Sean McVay, said that the head coach “fell in love with Stafford” (clearly) and that he is “over the moon” that the front office managed to acquire him.
