Rams Allow Stafford to Seek Trade Amid Raiders Interest

As the NFL offseason approaches, speculation is rising around quarterback Matthew Stafford's future with the Los Angeles Rams, who have permitted him to seek a trade. The Las Vegas Raiders are emerging as frontrunners for Stafford, particularly following a meeting between him and minority owner Tom Brady, which may indicate a planned move. The Rams aim for a first-round pick in any trade but might lower their demands if the acquiring team assumes more of Stafford's contract. Meanwhile, the Raiders, desperate for a reliable quarterback after Derek Carr's departure, have substantial cap space, allowing them to attract free agents. Additionally, the Green Bay Packers are exploring trade options for cornerback Jaire Alexander, potentially considering a deal involving Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, though both teams may opt for free agency instead. The offseason promises to be dynamic as teams reassess their rosters and strategies.
