One of the biggest dominos in the 2025 NFL Draft wasn’t on the field at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The growing speculation regarding Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and a potential trade to the New York Giants or Las Vegas Raiders has hung over the Combine workouts. Whether Stafford is traded — and if so, where — will set the stage for all the moves and maneuvering regarding the quarterback position in free agency and the draft.
That domino could be falling sooner rather than later.
Peter Schrager of the NFL Network is reporting that Stafford and head coach Sean McVay have had multiple conversations, and his general sense is that the more conversations they have, the better the chances that Stafford returns to the Rams.
