As the NFL trade deadline approached, speculation swirled linking Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl-winning quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Minnesota Vikings, a potential blockbuster trade that would have been one of the most significant moves since Stafford left the Detroit Lions.
Though it may have been a topic of internal discussion, the rumor never gained traction beyond the speculation of trade circles.Kelly Stafford, wife of Matthew Stafford, addressed the trade rumors surrounding her husband on her podcast, *The Morning After with Kelly Stafford and Hank*. She admitted that the speculation added stress to their household and suggested that the Rams’ win over the Vikings on October 31 might have influenced Matthew’s decision to remain in Los Angeles.
Kelly Stafford shared her thoughts on the trade rumors linking Matthew to the Vikings, saying, “There was no truth to it, which was interesting because I opened Instagram one day and thought, ‘Do I need to start looking for a home in Minnesota?’ What’s going on?” She continued, “That’s one thing you don’t want to text your husband, ‘Hey, have you heard if you’re getting traded?’ And that didn’t happen because I’m not going to text him that.”
She also emphasized the sensitivity of the situation, explaining, “I just think it’s a little inappropriate for me to bring it up unless he does. He’s seeing these rumors too—it’s not like he’s not aware of them.” (via *New York Post*)
