As the Los Angeles Rams continue to evaluate their quarterback depth heading into the regular season, Stetson Bennett could become an intriguing name on the trade market. While Bennett may not be viewed as a long-term starter, his experience in Sean McVay’s offense, familiarity with the Rams’ system and potential upside could make him appealing to teams dealing with uncertainty at quarterback. With injuries, roster decisions and unexpected developments always capable of changing the quarterback landscape, there could be franchises willing to explore a trade rather than enter the season without a reliable insurance option. For Los Angeles, that could create an interesting decision: keep Bennett as valuable depth behind Matthew Stafford, or capitalize on his potential trade value if another team comes calling. The Rams would not receive anything beyond a Day 3 draft pick but maybe that is worth it for a team that is always wheeling and dealing.
Here are 6 teams that could trade for Stetson Bennett.
