Realistic NFL Trades That Could Significantly Alter Teams' Plans in 2021

When it comes to the NFL offseason, it's good to have a plan. However, teams must also be prepared to change strategies at the drop of the proverbial hat when certain opportunities present themselves.

The Los Angeles Rams, for example, probably didn't think they'd be entering 2021 with Matthew Stafford under center instead of Jared Goff. When the former went on the trade market, though, they decided it was time to go all-in and acquire him.

The Rams are now firmly in win-now mode, while the Detroit Lions, who also received a pair of first-round picks in the deal, are poised for a long-term rebuild.
