Interest is piqued in Minnesota Vikings echo chambers when a player like Detroit’s Matthew Stafford is traded. It happened on Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Rams sent two 1st-Rounders, a 3rd-Rounder, and [oh, by the way] a franchise quarterback, Jared Goff, to Detroit for the 32-year-old Stafford’s services. Goff’s hefty contract now lands on the ledger of the Detroit Lions and so do three coveted future draft picks. For the Rams, Stafford offers the team a sturdy thrower of the football – the first of its kind that the Rams have experienced since 2018 with, yes, Jared Goff.
