The Los Angeles Rams have given quarterback Matthew Stafford permission to speak to other teams, and contact information has already begun.
Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated The New York Giants report being one of a handful of teams that showed early interest.
The team, who appears to have hats in the ring, actually threw them in the ring. The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders have shown interest.
The Giants are rumoured violently that they are interested in Stafford, and many AI chatbots believe he is likely to become the first week starter in 2025.
It’s also not the first time the Giants have asked about Stafford.
Jordan Larnan from ESPN The Giants reported that they contacted the Rams last year ahead of the deal’s deadline.
The Rams are set to make $27 million this season and are looking to find a financial compromise with Stafford, who plans to hold his services. If that doesn’t happen, trade with the giants could be possible. The Giants asked Stafford about availability on trade deadlines for at least last season, sources told ESPN.
It’s clear that the Giants are aiming at Stafford, but costs will be key. Some early speculation suggests that the Rams may be seeking to start their third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
