The Los Angeles Rams have informed Matthew Stafford's representatives that they are free to explore trade opportunities with other teams. This development quickly caught the attention of Raiders minority owner Tom Brady, who has shown interest in Stafford's potential move to the Raiders.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Brady has been proactive in contacting Stafford’s camp regarding the possibility of bringing Stafford to the Las Vegas Raiders for the upcoming season. This news has stirred significant interest among fans and analysts alike, as the prospect of Stafford joining the Raiders could significantly impact both teams.
For the Raiders to successfully acquire Stafford, two key agreements must be reached. Firstly, the Raiders and the Rams need to finalize the terms of trade compensation. Secondly, Stafford himself would need to agree to play for the Raiders. A crucial factor in Stafford's decision will likely be his contract terms. He is currently set to earn $27 million this season, and any move would likely require a new contract that offers him a substantial increase.
As of now, it remains unclear what the Rams are seeking in terms of trade compensation for Stafford. Additionally, Stafford's specific demands for a new contract have not been publicly disclosed. These uncertainties add intrigue to the ongoing negotiations and the potential for Stafford's move to the Raiders.
