After Jared Goff fell out of favor with the Los Angeles Rams, it became clear the Rams were looking to upgrade the quarterback position. Once the Detroit Lions jettisoned the previous regime and looked to start fresh, it became clear Matthew Stafford’s days were numbered. This turned into a perfect scenario for a Rams team that had fallen below expectations.
The Rams felt Stafford was one the missing cogs to turn the tide in hopes of making a run to the Super Bowl, and it seemed they would do almost do anything to bring Stafford to Los Angeles. It was an added benefit the Lions wanted to do Stafford right and fulfill his wishes, which made the Rams an ideal destination. With the Rams packaging, a slew of draft picks and Jared Goff, they were able to bring in their guy, and it is now one victory away from capturing a Super Bowl win.
Many Lions fans are rooting for Stafford to finally get his glory after dealing with what seems like constant rebuilding in the Lions organization. Still, there is one person in particular who you may think is taking it harder than most, and that is none other than the player Stafford replaced in Los Angeles but is happy for all parties involved.
