The Los Angeles Rams are coming off an incredible season led by Matthew Stafford, who won the MVP and continued to put himself in conversations as one of the best in the game.
However, even with that success, the Rams could probably use some more depth. Austen Bundy of FanSided predicted that former Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr could come out of retirement and land with the Rams, a shocking prediction that would be interesting to see. While Stafford is the clear starter, having Carr back him up would be fun, but perhaps a little too late to do so.
However, even after stepping away, Carr’s experience makes him an option for just that alone. For the Rams, adding a proven veteran would give them stability in case of an injury. Outside of that, though, it’s tough to say that the move would make sense.
“Matthew Stafford just won league MVP but without him, the Rams are definitely not playoff material let alone Super Bowl contenders. His backup is Stetson Bennett and the quality of weapons Los Angeles owns would be wasted with him under center. Carr would also be reunited with former teammate Davante Adams in such a trade and who knows what kind of resurgence the latter could bring his old friend,” he wrote .
