On Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings saw two fellow members of the NFC make a trade that involved a pair of quarterbacks that were both No. 1 picks in the NFL Draft.
The Detroit Lions parted ways with longtime signal-caller Matthew Stafford and sent him to the Los Angles Rams in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round draft pick, a 2022 first-round selection, and a first-round choice in 2023.
The Rams didn’t seem like a team in desperate need of a quarterback upgrade, but they obviously felt a move was necessary for them to contend in 2021.
