With the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl window all but closed, GM Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay should sit down with quarterback Matthew Stafford and see if he would welcome a trade.

Now, trading Matthew Stafford would require a lot of moving parts. The 36-year-old is signed through 2026 with a base salary of $23 million for 2025 and an even larger sum of $26 million the following year, per OvertheCap.com.

Stafford’s recent injury history cannot be overlooked, either. Only so many teams would be interested in trading for an ageing quarterback whose production could fall off at any moment, but there’s one club that actually makes sense here.

That would be the QB-needy Las Vegas Raiders, who have struggled to replace Derek Carr since his release in 2023. Their $25 million free agent signing, Gardner Minshew II, was just benched in favor of inconsistent sophomore Aidan O’Connell.

Mark Davis’ Raiders haven’t had a true top-10 signal-caller since Carr’s career year in 2016. Before that, you’d have to go back to Rich Gannon’s MVP-winning season in 2002, the year the Raiders last reached the Super Bowl.

Tom Brady just purchased a minority stake in the Raiders. If there’s one person who can sell Matthew Stafford on the idea of coming to Vegas for the final stretch of his career, it’s the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

For the Rams, trading Stafford puts them in a spot to bottom out and snag a top QB prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft like Georgia’s Carson Beck, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Quinn Ewers of Texas.

What Raiders Should Offer Rams For Matthew Stafford

Because the Raiders would be doing a financial favor for the Rams by taking on Stafford’s contract, GM Tom Telesco probably wouldn’t have to give up too much for the Super Bowl-winning QB.

The Raiders should offer a 2025 third-round pick, a 2026 fifth-rounder and Minshew to the Rams for Stafford. The latter could do wonders with Jakobi Meyers, Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer as his main weapons, while the Rams can use Minshew as a bridge QB before drafting their new signal-caller of the future.

Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
