The new Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford, spoke.
Stafford, who gave an interview to the Detroit Free Press, spoke on several topics, including the report that ended up disclosing that he did not want to be negotiated with the New England Patriots. Stafford admitted that there were several teams he didn’t want to play for, and he wanted to go to a team that was ready to compete for a championship.

“What is needed is – and this is an incredible thing, [the Detroit Lions] – I asked to go to a team that was ready to win a championship, “explained Stafford.” And, you know, there were a few teams on that list. Some teams were not on that list. And they respected that and understood it completely. I had thoughts and reasons for each of them. “

Last season for the Lions, Stafford pitched for 4,084 yards with 26 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. Georgia’s first overall pick led Detroit to a 5-11 record, which resulted in a final place on the NFC North.

The Rams are loaded with talent on both sides of football, including defensive tackle Aaron Donald, cornerback Jalen Ramsey and offensive weapons like wide receivers Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, and running back Cam Akers. With coach Sean McVay running the show in Los Angeles, there’s no reason why Rams, led by Stafford, shouldn’t make a fuss over the next NFC season.
