The Los Angeles Rams may be preparing to go through a transition at quarterback after giving Matthew Stafford<\/a><\/strong> permission to seek a trade<\/a>. That has, since, led to clear interest in the Super Bowl champion, with several teams seemingly interested in his services.<\/p>\n

This comes in an offseason where several big-name quarterbacks could be on the move. Along with Stafford, future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> is now also looking for a new team after making his exit from the New York Jets. <\/p>\n

While Stafford\u2019s exit from Los Angeles isn\u2019t set in stone, it is possible. If he were to leave, former NFL GM and current analyst Mike Tannenbaum sees Rodgers as a smart replacement for him in the short term, as he explained on Get Up<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAaron Rodgers,\u201d Tannenbaum said. \u201cGreeny, if you really look at it last year, he played pretty well. (He had) 3,800 yards, 28 touchdowns, only 11 interceptions. He\u2019ll be 42 in December. Not ideal, but what a great band-aid for the Rams in terms of a \u2018we\u2019re in a win now, mode.\u2019 Buy some time to draft his replacement. So, not ideal but Aaron Rodgers would be a great one-year band-aid in LA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010 season. He\u2019s also been an MVP in the NFL four times, including as recently as 2021. However, his two seasons in New York were difficult, tearing his Achilles in his first game and leading the team to a mediocre 5-12 record. Still, his numbers were solid on the surface, finishing eighth among NFL quarterbacks in passing yards and seventh in touchdown passes. However, his passer rating was 21st and his QBR was 31st.<\/p>\n

Going to Los Angeles does seem like a potentially enticing option for Rodgers himself. NFL insider Adam Schefter recently broke down how the Rams are a place he may look to extend his career. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith Aaron, I think we start with the fact that you have to see where Matthew [Stafford is] gonna go. Is Matthew going back to LA, or is he not going to LA, because if he\u2019s not going to LA, I\u2019m sure that LA appeals to Aaron Rodgers. That would be my guess. You would know probably better than I,\u201d Schefter said<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I believe that Aaron wants to play. I believe he wants to play at least another year. I believe he\u2019s got a chip on his shoulder. He wants to come back and play this upcoming season and show people that he still has the juice and still can get it done. So I think he\u2019s gonna play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite that, Schefter also recently made it clear that it\u2019s not set in stone that Stafford would leave Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think that he should be happy with them. They should be happy with him,\u201d\u00a0Schefter said<\/a>. \u201cThere are issues that both sides have been working through. I think in this particular case, he\u2019s on a contract where he\u2019s scheduled to make $27M, no guaranteed money. You have to adjust the contract. So, now you\u2019ve given the agent permission to go out and see what other teams would be willing to offer, and you probably find that other teams are willing to offer more. It comes down to what Matthew Stafford wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the time being, whether or not the Rams job opens up is going to come down to Stafford. However, if he does move on, Rodgers is bound to be one of the quarterbacks that the Rams look into moving forward. <\/p>\n
