Struggling AFC Team Shocks Everyone By Acquiring Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford In Blockbuster Trade Proposal That Would Blow Up The NFL

With the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl window all but closed, GM Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay should sit down with quarterback Matthew Stafford and see if he would welcome a trade.

Now, trading Matthew Stafford would require a lot of moving parts. The 36-year-old is signed through 2026 with a base salary of $23 million for 2025 and an even larger sum of $26 million the following year, per OvertheCap.com.

Stafford’s recent injury history cannot be overlooked, either. Only so many teams would be interested in trading for an ageing quarterback whose production could fall off at any moment, but there’s one club that actually makes sense here.

That would be the QB-needy Las Vegas Raiders, who have struggled to replace Derek Carr since his release in 2023. Their $25 million free agent signing, Gardner Minshew II, was just benched in favor of inconsistent sophomore Aidan O’Connell.

Mark Davis’ Raiders haven’t had a true top-10 signal-caller since Carr’s career year in 2016. Before that, you’d have to go back to Rich Gannon’s MVP-winning season in 2002, the year the Raiders last reached the Super Bowl.
