Matthew Stafford's future with the Rams is up in the air. If L.A. does decide to trade him, here are five teams that make sense as potential trade partners.

As the conclusion of the NFL winter eases into the madness of its spring, it is perhaps instructive to remind Los Angeles exactly where one of their local teams finished.

According to reports from NFL Network and ESPN, the Rams are giving Stafford’s reps permission to talk with other teams as the offseason begins. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that the development does not stem from a trade request, but it could give Stafford and the Rams a better understanding of the quarterback’s value outside the team.
