The Los Angeles Rams acquired quarterback Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick, 2022 and 2023 first-round picks, along with playmaker Jared Goff.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Stafford's contract won't be tweaked and the veteran will remain to have two years and $43 million left in the next couple of seasons.

Stafford concluded a 12-year tenure with the Lions after being selected with the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He went on to be named the 2011 NFL Comeback Player of the Year and was selected to be a Pro Bowler in the 2014 season.

The Georgia alum previously led the Lions to a total of three postseason trips back in 2011, 2014, and 2016 but the team never managed to get past the Wild Card Round in all three appearances. He recently garnered another losing season after the Lions ended their 2020 campaign with a 5-11 record.

In a bid to seek greener pastures upon entering his 13th season in the league, Stafford eventually requested a trade and ultimately landed with the Rams where he will inherit a capable roster. Head coach Sean McVay and his squad managed to make it back to the playoffs after garnering a 10-6 record in the regular season. However, they eventually fell short in a 32-18 loss against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round to bounce out of the 2020 NFL Playoffs.

The Rams' former quarterback in Jared Goff also led the team to three postseason appearances including a trip to Super Bowl LIII in his five-year stint in Los Angeles.

The Rams are hoping that they can achieve greater success with a veteran playmaker in Matthew Stafford and also give him a shot at a Super Bowl title before he enters the twilight zone of his career.
