Latest Matthew Stafford insight won't sit well with Rams fans

It is relatively early in the offseason, of course, but one of the bigger storylines and dominoes set to fall is in regards to L.A. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Some had wondered whether or not he would decide to play in 2025, but from the looks of it, that seems to be his plan going forward. But, will he stick around with the Rams? That's the bigger question.

NFL Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah recently took to social media to toss out a wild idea that would end up sending Stafford to the New York Giants.

"I’d be so fascinated to see what trade compensation would look like if Giants traded for Stafford. If they could hold onto 3rd pick, they could have some really fun options," posted Jeremiah.

But it's not just some fluffy idea. This might actually have some legs to it, because a fellow NFL expert, Gregg Rosenthal, chimed in on the idea as well on Wednesday.

Along with reposting Jeremiah's words, Rosenthal included the idea that it is "way more likely than not" Stafford is gone, insinuating he will be on his way out of Los Angeles in the near future.

The Rams could be in line for a veteran bridge quarterback this offseason

If Stafford is, indeed, going to be dealt this offseason, then head coach Sean McVay is left in a tough spot. The Rams are nowhere near being able to draft a top quarterback prospect in this year's class. And, to make matters worse, this year's rookie class isn't looking like it will be a real competent one by comparison to 2024.

So, what do the Rams do if Stafford is ultimately traded?

Free agent options could include the likes of Sam Darnold, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields or Jameis Winston. Maybe, Kirk Cousins becomes an option after we see what finally happens in that situation with Atlanta.

But, are any of these names as good as Stafford? The simple answer is, no.

Fields might be fun. He's young enough to where the Rams could continue trying to develop him. He'd provide some excitement with his legs, that's for sure. Maybe a combination of Fields and a second-round rookie makes some sense. McVay is smart enough to utilize Fields' strengths and organize a hefty run-first game plan.

All of this is just spitballing, though. Nothing is set in stone. However, the fact that Rosenthal would put his name on the notion of Stafford being more likely to exit L.A. than to stay? That's newsworthy.
