Summary

In one of the bigger player moves of the offseason, Matthew Stafford was traded to the Rams. The older veteran has long been viewed as one of the more talented arm talents in the NFL while languishing on largely losing Detroit teams. Stafford has been above-average in nearly all secondary passing categories (touchdown rate, interception rate, adjusted yards-per-attempt for example) in recent seasons and has shown little age erosion through age 32. Stafford's arm talent offers untapped to Sean McVay's offense, which stalled in 2019 and 2020 after a strong two-year run previously. Stafford offers little in terms of tangible rushing production, last surpassing even 200 yards in a season back in 2016.

Carolina had interest in Matthew Stafford

The Carolina Panthers nearly completed a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire QB Matthew Stafford during the offseason, before Stafford consulted with his family and made clear that he wanted to be dealt to the Los Angeles Rams, according to multiple sources. The Lions respected Stafford's wishes and ultimately traded him to the Rams. The package Detroit would have received reportedly included QB Teddy Bridgewater and a first-round pick.

Matthew Stafford won't play in preseason

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) won't play in a preseason game Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday, Aug. 6, as long as both are together on the Rams. 'There is zero chance you'll ever see Matthew Stafford take a snap in the preseason for the Rams as long as I'm the coach. That will never happen,' McVay said. 'So he is not going to play. That's why it's important for us to try to get competitive opportunities against some of these other teams in practice settings. Practicing against the Cowboys this Saturday. We'll get the Raiders twice. So we're always looking for those things. But until you tell me that if a guy gets hurt in the preseason that we'll get those games back or they'll add them on the schedule afterwards as, 'Oh, yeah, you get two games because you lost those guys in the preseason,' it's hard for me to make sense of it.'
