Ex-NFL QB suggests trade to move Matthew Stafford from Rams

Kurt Benkert has proposed a trade that would send Matthew Stafford from the Los Angeles Rams to the Minnesota Vikings. The Rams are currently 5-4, and Stafford's performance has not matched his MVP season last year. Benkert argues that given Los Angeles selected quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the team might benefit from trading Stafford and gathering draft picks. Meanwhile, Minnesota, which has lost two consecutive games after a strong start, faces uncertainty at the quarterback position, making Stafford an appealing option. The trade's feasibility remains questionable as Stafford plays a key role in the Rams' offense, and parting with him would be a significant decision.
