In a recent episode of her podcast, The Morning After with Kelly Stafford, Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, directly addressed a circulating rumor that Matthew was considered for a trade to the Minnesota Vikings. The rumor has raised concerns and speculation among fans, especially following Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins’ season-ending Achilles injury.
Kelly didn’t shy away from her reaction to the trade talk, sharing how the news stirred up mixed emotions within her and her family. “Hearing these things isn’t easy,” she explained, noting how quickly trade rumors can become personal when they involve her family’s future. For the Staffords, who have embraced their life in Los Angeles, the thought of uprooting their lives again was unsettling.
Matthew Stafford, a long-time NFL veteran, was acquired by the Rams from the Detroit Lions in 2021, leading the team to a Super Bowl victory in his first season. Both he and Kelly have been vocal about their love for Los Angeles and the Rams’ community, making the rumor even harder for her to hear.
Kelly made it clear that while the rumors were tough to process, she has confidence in her husband’s commitment to the Rams. “We’re here because we want to be, and that’s where his focus is,” she said, putting a positive spin on what had been a tense topic for their family.
The rumor, largely fueled by the Vikings’ search for a quarterback following Cousins’ injury, has not been confirmed by either team.
