We're not even three weeks into the 2024 NFL season, but some analysts already are cooking up some eye-opening trade scenarios.
Chief among those was former quarterback-turned-Fox Sports analyst Chase Daniel, who outlined his idea for a three-team trade during Wednesday's episode ofThe Facility.
Daniel proposed an elaborate three-team trade that would see the injury-riddled Los Angeles Rams enter a rebuild by trading veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Miami Dolphins. In exchange, the Rams would receive recently-benched QB Bryce Young from the Carolina Panthers, who would be given a second-round pick from the Dolphins and a third-rounder from L.A.
Daniel provided some justification for the proposed trade, suggesting that Miami could still contend while keeping Tua Tagovailoa off the field after his latest concussion, while Sean McVay could work his magic in hopes of getting Young's career back on track. Meanwhile, Stafford is owed just $4 million in guaranteed money throughout the remainder of his deal, meaning the Dolphins wouldn't be on the hook for a huge contract.
I propose a 3 team trade:

▪️Rams get Bryce Young
▪️Dolphins get Matthew Stafford
▪️Panthers get Dolphins 2nd & Rams 3rd rounder

Despite those arguments, the trade idea didn't resonate with NFL fans, who were quick to laugh off the suggestion from Daniel. Despite Daniel claiming the trade is "really not that crazy," it doesn't seem he was able to convince fans on social media, who roasted him for the egregious proposal.
Simply trade one of the best QBs in the NFL for one of the worst QBs we’ve ever seen

Not crazy at all! https://t.co/8sq35AoLDv
This is an awful trade for the Rams https://t.co/P2Rb0166RC

Rams should not have to move a pick on top of Stafford in any trade. If anything, the picks should be coming to them along with Young https://t.co/tOT5C2hoOO

The Rams trade a hall of fame caliber QB for a bust and wind up losing a 3rd? https://t.co/31a2IC0w0K

Wait so the Rams downgrade at QB AND give up a 3rd rounder? How did this make it past the production meeting? https://t.co/TmeSQKz49o
