49ers | SF had interest in Matthew Stafford Wed Jul 7, 06:08 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford was receiving trade interest from the San Francisco 49ers before he was acquired by the Rams, according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: This was known a few months ago when the 49ers made the move up to no.3 overall so they could select QB Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL draft. They were sniffing around guys like Stafford and former Jets QB Sam Darnold before deciding going with Lance was their best plan. Stafford almost landed with the Broncos, but the Rams gave up a king's ransom to get him and Denver wouldn't match that. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford not limited Mon May 24, 04:48 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) said he is a full participant in offseason workouts even though he had a procedure on his thumb earlier this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Stafford here. The Rams are expecting Stafford to unlock their offense in ways that former starter Jared Goff could not. Fantasy GMs are taking Stafford off the board at QB13 (8.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Patriots | Matthew Stafford not interested in move to NE Sun Jan 31, 01:11 PM
Incoming Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford told the Detroit Lions that he was not interested in being traded to the New England Patriots, according to a source. The Lions have agreed to trade Stafford to the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The rumblings were that Stafford wanted to play in warm weather...and that's not going to happen in New England. He also just got through the Matt Patricia era in Detroit, so going to the Patriots (where Patricia returns as an assistant) does not make a ton of sense. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford's current deal unlikely to change Sun Jan 31, 10:25 AM
QB Matthew Stafford's contract is not expected to change as a result of his recent trade from the Detroit Lions to the Los Angeles Rams, meaning that he will not receive an extension or a raise. He has two years left on his current deal and is slated to earn $43 million.
| Footballguys view: Stafford's numbers are incredibly low (basically $21 million per year) for the current quarterback market. The Rams are in 'win now' mode with this aggressive move to get Stafford. We'll see if they can do that, and his contract is certainly not going to be an issue for bringing talent in at other positions. |

Lions | Detroit acquires Jared Goff and picks Sat Jan 30, 10:24 PM
The Detroit Lions agreed to trade QB Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Jan. 30, in exchange for QB Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick and a 2023 first-round pick, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Lions got a haul with the Rams here. It's good for the Rams if they make those extra picks work. Can they get more from Goff? That remains to be seen, but it seems doubtful given that he was working with one of the brightest minds in the NFL Sean McVay and couldn't take that next step. Goff will likely get the next two years to prove if he can be the top guy for the Lions. |

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to acquire QB Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions in exchange for QB Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick and a 2023 first-round pick, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Rams wanted to move on from Goff by any means necessary. They were able to do that but it will cost them in the future. Stafford now takes over an offense with explosive players and a bright mind in Sean McVay running the show. He should be a QB1 for Fantasy GMs in 2021 as the Rams made an aggressive 'win now' move to add the veteran passer. |

Lions | Matthew Stafford trade close Sat Jan 30, 12:52 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has drawn 'significant' interest on the trade market, and NFL reporter Ian Rapoport said Saturday, Jan. 30 to expect a deal to be in place before the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
| Footballguys view: The trade can't become official until the start of the new league year. However, this deal can be announced this upcoming week. Several teams have expressed interest in the veteran quarterback, and we're sure the Lions are likely to get at least one first-round pick in exchange for Stafford. Teams like the 49ers, Broncos, and Colts seem to make the most sense. We should know his new destination in the near future. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford, LA Rams have mutual interest Fri Jan 29, 05:35 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford reportedly considers the Los Angeles Rams 'a viable contender in his trade market,' according to multiple sources. The Rams have also reportedly 'explored the possibilities' with Stafford despite not knowing what they can do with Jared Goff's long-term contract on the books.
| Footballguys view: The Lions are in a position as a rebuilding team to take on Goff's onerous contract, possibly in exchange for additional draft capital. The Rams desire to make a change at quarterback the offseason seems to almost be as strong as Deshaun Watson's desire to change teams. |

Patriots | NE a favorite for Matthew Stafford? Thu Jan 28, 12:27 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford will likely be traded this offseason, and the New England Patriots are one of the two 'front-runners' due to their quarterback need and favorable salary cap situation, according to a recent article written for The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Stafford is looking for a fresh start and the Patriots are looking for a new quarterback. He's still got plenty of high-quality play left in the tank and could fit with what the Patriots do on offense. |

Lions | Matthew Stafford receiving a ton of interest Wed Jan 27, 11:28 AM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has garnered interest from about one-third of the NFL, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, who opines the team could get a first-round pick for him.
| Footballguys view: That's not a surprise given that franchise quarterbacks don't come up for trade that often. Stafford can still play at a really high level and any team who feels close to contending could add him. We should see Stafford net the Lions at least one first-round pick. The Colts and Broncos may be the front-runners for his services. |

Lions | Matthew Stafford likely done in DET Sat Jan 23, 06:11 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has expressed a desire for a fresh start and the team plans to begin exploring trade possibilities in the coming weeks, according to sources Saturday, Jan. 23.
| Footballguys view: A trade would make sense for both sides as Stafford shouldn't be interested in another rebuild at this point in his career and new general manager Brad Holmes should want more material to craft the roster in his image. Washington, San Francisco, Indianapolis, and Denver should be very interested with at least 4-5 potential suitors if not a lot more. Stafford could change a team's trajectory as much as Tom Brady did last year. |

Lions | Detroit's offense strong in loss Sun Jan 3, 05:29 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford went 20-for-31 for 293 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. RB Adrian Peterson rushed for 63 yards and one touchdown on seven carries, while RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 54 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries. WR Marvin Jones caught eight passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets, while WR Quintez Cephus caught two passes for 51 yards and one touchdown on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Stafford looked great despite playing with a myriad of injuries. He should be on the trade market as the Lions look to the future in a rebuilding moment. They'll hire a new head coach and general manager this offseason and Stafford is probably at the very end of his prime. Jones will also be a free agent and can still start elsewhere. |

| Footballguys view: Stafford is as tough as nails. He's battled through various injuries this year and will stay out there as long as he can. As we've seen in previous weeks, Stafford may begin the game but that doesn't mean he will finish it. This could be his final game with the Lions. |

Lions | Coach confident in Matthew Stafford Thu Dec 31, 01:11 PM
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (ankle) remained out of practice Thursday, Dec. 31, due to a sprained ankle, but head coach Darrell Bevell is optimistic Stafford will start Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. 'You're going to have to convince me a lot that this guy's not going to go,' Bevell said Thursday. 'He's as tough as they come, tough as nails, he wants to be out there, and I think really those two things are probably the most important, if the guys want to. I mean, I always say this, I always say that your mind's a powerful thing and you can do a lot if you just believe in that. And the guy wants it, so there's not a doubt in mind that he won't make it happen, but obviously we're going to continue to go through the week and see how it goes.'
| Footballguys view: It seems like Stafford might tough it out again. It's a meaningless game and could be another abbreviated start if Stafford is out there. This could be his final game with the Lions. |
