SOURCE SPORTS: Detroit Lions Swap Matthew Stafford for Rams’ Jared Goff & Picks

Matthew Stafford is now the quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams. ESPN reports the Detroit Lions agreed to send Stafford to L.A. for quarterback Jared Goff and multiple draft picks.

Coming to The Motor City alongside Stafford is a third-round pick in 2021, a first-round pick in 2022, and a first-round pick in 2023. The deal will become official on March 17.

Goff to Detroit once again pairs him with the Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes who was the director of college scouting in Los Angeles last season. He helped the Rams trade up in the 2016 NFL draft to hire Goff. During his tenure in L.A. Goff achieved a 42-27 record and a Super Bowl appearance, landing a four-year $134 million deal.
