Several teams are reportedly showing interest in trading for Matthew Stafford
Will Matthew Stafford be on the move ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft? That's what a lot of people are expecting, as the veteran signal-caller has reportedly been given permission to seek a trade. Obviously, there are plenty of teams that would make sense for him.
According to Albert Breer, several organizations have shown interest in trying to get something done. Those teams are the Giants, Steelers, Browns and Raiders. The Rams aren't going to give Stafford away for peanuts, but they've also got to be realistic on expectations for what kind of offer might come in:
“The teams you’d suspect would have their hat in the ring have, indeed, thrown their hats in the ring. The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders and others have shown interest.”

Of the four teams Breer mentioned, it seems like the Giants are the ones who might be the most desperate to get something across the line. General manager Joe Schoen's job is on the line next season and the same can be said for head coach Brian Daboll.
After getting the G-Men to the playoffs in Year 1 of the Schoen-Daboll era, Big Blue has gone 6-11 and 3-14 since. Owner John Mara is losing patience. Trading for Stafford would provide NY with a veteran signal-caller, while they'd also look to draft someone early in Round 1 too. NY is certainly a team to watch, but don't forget about Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.
