The Eagles they would, in the words of a very well-placed source, “be a package type Matthew Staffordas I pay Wentz. The Detroit Lions they sent to Stafford a Los Angeles Rams last weekend by choosing this year’s third round, two future first-round choices and the quarterback Jared Goff, the player selected immediately before Wentz in the first two at-billets of the 2016 draft decision.
