Rams weighing blockbuster Crosby trade to pair with Stafford’s heir

Rams GM Les Snead hinted at trading draft capital for an impact veteran, and with two first‑round picks this year, they’d have ammunition for a bold deal. Crosby’s Raiders future remains uncertain, making a move plausible if the reward is immediate contention and a future QB plan.
