The biggest move in the NFC West this week — if not the entire NFL — was an echo of the deal that happened in January: the Los Angeles Rams traded Jared Goff and three draft picks for Matthew Stafford. I’m not trying to gloss over the draft picks to distract you away from their perceived value, but I do want to emphasize what’s important:
The Rams traded for Matthew Stafford.
Through one week of free agency, the NFC West was two hands short of an “arms race” and the only thing close to an earth-shattering move was the Stafford acquisition.
