The Detroit Lions have agreed to trade Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for Jared Goff and a multitude of draft picks.

The Rams will send a third round pick in 2021, a first round pick in 2022 and a first round pick in 2023 in addition to Goff.

The move is the first big one made by Brad Holmes since being hired by the Lions.

Stafford went to Lions team president Rod Wood soon after the season concluded and mentioned a trade might be best for both parties.

The Los Angeles Rams have interest in trading for Matthew Stafford.

The issue complicating a trade for the Rams is whether they can get off the long-term contract of Jared Goff.

The Detroit Lions are working with Stafford on finding a trade this offseason.

The Houston Texans are posturing that they have no intention of trading Deshaun Watson despite his wish to move on this offseason.

“Zero interest in trading the player,” GM Nick Caserio said.

When asked by John McClain of the Houston Chronicle about the plan for salvaging the relationship with Watson, Caserio said that the “best way is to communicate and be honest and be forthright.”

Watson signed an extension with the Texans before the start of the 2020 season.

The Detroit Lions are expected to hire Mark Brunell as their new quarterbacks coach.

Brunell, 50, joins Dan Campbell, Anthony Lynn, Aaron Glenn and Duce Staley on the growing list of former pros that are a part of Detroit's new staff.

The hire marks Brunell's first venture into the NFL coaching ranks.

The Carolina Panthers will be "aggressive" in pursuit of Deshaun Watson, who has formally requested a trade from the Houston Texans.

The Panthers have the No. 8 overall pick, which could headline a potential package for Watson.

Patrick Mahomes assumed the Kansas City Chiefs would be losing Eric Bieniemy as his offensive coordinator after this season.

Mahomes told Dan Patrick he was shocked Bieniemy wasn't hired in the latest coaching cycle.

"It amazes me, honestly," Mahomes said. "If you look at his track record, the way he’s able to coach us, the way he’s able to lead men, to be able to lead a locker room of people from every different background, every different race, everything like that, and to be the leader of a locker room is a special talent. He’s able to do that. And the way he’s able to go about calling plays throughout the game. We have Coach Reid, and Coach Reid calls plays, but there’s a ton of input from Coach Bieniemy and he calls a ton of plays in our game plan and it gets overlooked."

The Tennessee Titans are expected to promote tight ends coach Todd Downing to offensive coordinator.

He served as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2017.

Downing would replace Arthur Smith, who was named the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons earlier this month.

Ron Rivera was declared cancer-free after a checkup Thursday.

Rivera, who announced on Aug. 20 that he had squamous cell cancer, tweeted thanks Thursday for the support he received during his treatment and recovery.

"Thank you everyone for your prayers, letters, texts & notes of encouragement & support. It truly made a difference in my treatment & recovery!#RiveraStrong @WashingtonNFL," he wrote.

The Washington Football Team coach needed to undergo seven weeks of treatment for the cancer during the season, which included three rounds of chemotherapy and proton therapy five days a week.

Ben Roethlisberger is ready and willing to what will be necessary to lower his $41.25 million cap hit for the 2021 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I want to do everything I can and made that very clear to them from the very beginning that it was my idea to basically help the team however I can this year,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t care about my pay at all this year.”

Roethlisberger also indicated he views 2021 as likely his last season in the NFL.

“I am pretty sure I want to go one more year [because] I think I can do it and give us a real chance and winning,” Roethlisberger said.

Deshaun Watson has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, sources have confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The request came weeks ago, but the decision to hire David Culley as head coach will not alter his thinking. Watson hasn't spoken to new Texans general manager Nick Caserio or executive Jack Easterby. The trade request comes after Watson was reportedly unhappy with the process used by the team to hire Caserio in early January.

Watson signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension with the Texans in September.
