The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams pulled off one of the most significant trades in NFL history.

The Rams traded the farm to acquire Matthew Stafford, taking him away from the Lions and winning his first career Super Bowl.

Since Stafford led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in his first year as the starter, he has been commonly regarded as the winner of this trade.

The Rams won the Super Bowl, giving him another chance to highlight his skills as a legitimate NFL quarterback.

While this has been a positive for Stafford, one of the pieces traded back to the Lions has also panned out well.

Jared Goff has led this team to great places, including taking them to the NFC Championship in 2024.

It was devastating for the Lions to lose that close to the Super Bowl, but the fact that they advanced far is an indication of what they can be in the future.

After seeing the season go down, Goff recently appeared on the Trading Cards Podcast, talking about getting traded to the Lions.

“It’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me for my career and my development as a human,” Goff said.

Jared Goff says being traded to the #Lions was the GREATEST thing to ever happen in his career.

“It’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me for my career and my development as a human.”

Goff has the understanding that the Lions have only helped him to this point in his career.

He has proven to the world that he belongs on an NFL roster and that he can do great things with the right coaching staff and the right team around him, as evidenced by his play in the 2023 regular season and playoffs.
