Now that the 2023 NFL draft has wrapped up, all the pieces that were traded in the 2021 trade for Super Bowl champion quarterback Matthew Stafford have come to light. Looking back on the trade, the L.A. Rams gave up quite the haul in order to secure the services of the franchise signal caller, though it’s unlikely they would take anything back given the Lombardi in their trophy case.
The Detroit Lions likely see it as fair game as well. They were not on the cusp of a championship, and potentially have put together the pieces to compete for the next decade thanks in part to the trade. Though they may not have found a franchise quarterback, Jared Goff has been serviceable, and the talent surrounding him could lift them into a deep playoff run.
