FOX Sports activities host Colin Cowherd claims to maintain an ear to the bottom and typically hears issues, and his newest concept will solely gasoline commerce rumors involving the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams.

“What the Rams need, I’m advised, they need the Giants’ first-round choose at No. 3,” he stated. “In order that they most likely need a first, a second, a primary, a 3rd, however you’ve obtained to pay Stafford should you’re the Giants. It’s important to give him a brand new deal. They’ll most likely get a primary and a fourth, however let’s simply speak about that No. 3 choose. The Rams need that No. 3 choose within the draft as a result of they’re drafting approach later. They need to take that choose, transfer down, and get extra picks. Why? In order that they have further picks subsequent yr after they have to maneuver as much as get a quarterback.”
The Rams can ask for the moon and the celebs, however they’re not going to get it. Buying and selling the third total choose within the 2025 NFL draft for a 37-year-old quarterback could be a friable offense for basic supervisor Joe Schoen, particularly if Stafford would then require a brand new contract.
Nonetheless, Cowherd doubled down.
“This sounds loopy, the Matt Stafford to the Giants factor is actual, I’m advised. I’m advised they like Matt Stafford, however he’s previous. … Rams need cheap, rental quarterback for one yr,” he stated.
It’s seemingly that the Giants and Rams are speaking. It might even be seemingly that Los Angeles began negotiations with an unrealistic request. However the Giants will not be a quarterback away from Tremendous Bowl rivalry and Stafford wouldn’t even be thought-about a long-term possibility, so if the No. 3 total choose is the sticking level, this commerce gained’t occur.
