As soon as the clock hit zero in the divisional round playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams, rumors and speculation began to surround the Rams and the future of their quarterback, Matthew Stafford. The Super Bowl champion quarterback indicated he still has a lot of good football left in him, but there are implications that he may have played his final game as a Ram.

Stafford’s wife, Kelly, has hinted at a potential team change both on Instagram and on her podcast. She posted a blurry photo of herself and Matthew with the caption “Future might be blurry but the present is always clear with you.” The Rams also owe Stafford a roster bonus of $4 million if he is on the roster on the third day of the new league year. So if a trade does happen, it will very likely be March 12 or March 13.

CBS Sports proposed a trade that would see the Steelers and Rams swap first-round picks in 2025 while Pittsburgh would give the Rams a 2025 second-round pick and a conditional 2026 second-round pick in exchange for Stafford.

While he is 37 years old, Stafford is still a top 10 quarterback in the NFL – borderline top 10 at the absolute worst. He had the Rams within mere plays of an appearance in the NFC Championship Game, and very likely a Super Bowl appearance. He was eighth in success rate, 11th in QBR, and showed he still has the ability to make the big throws in the big moments. Should the Steelers be able to get him, it’s an avenue that should be explored, especially if they can get it done with this exact trade. They would still have a first-round pick and have the ability to add the pieces necessary to compete.
