THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2020 season with a top-ranked defense worthy of a Super Bowl title.
Now they hope that with the addition of Matthew Stafford in a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Lions, that they have a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback.
The Rams traded quarterback Jared Goff, two future first-round picks and a third-round pick to the Lions in exchange for Stafford, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal will be official at the start of the league year.
With Stafford, who turns 33 next month, the Rams hope to revive an offense that propelled them to consecutive division titles and a Super Bowl LIII appearance at the end of the 2018 season, but has fallen into mediocrity the past two seasons.
