Yes, there are red flags to be wary of. Yes, there should be skepticism if a good team is willingly getting rid of a player. 

But considering the alternatives, Matthew Stafford is the best option for the Giants at quarterback. If the Rams truly do want to trade him, the Giants should be all over it. 

There is plenty of concern surrounding the quarterbacks in the draft. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward likely wouldn’t be among the top three quarterbacks prospects from last year’s draft — Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. And both might be taken before the Giants pick at No. 3. The top free agent veterans — Russell Wilson, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields and Jameis Winston — leave a lot to be desired. 

By most metrics, Stafford ranked around the middle of all starting quarterbacks. After getting some of the worst quarterback production in the league, that would represent a dramatic improvement.
