There's a central allure that keeps people playing fantasy football or creating endless custom rosters in Madden. We see the distribution of talent across the NFL and marvel at the league's best passers and best receivers setting new records every season. But in many cases, because of the realities of the salary cap or the more than a little dumb luck that goes into drafting a future NFL superstar, those top players don't wear the same uniform.
We don't often see superstar trades in the modern NFL, but when we do, they're electric. The best most recent example is, of course, the Los Angeles Rams acquiring Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions and stampeding all the way into the divisional round of the playoffs.
