Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay Celebrated Trade With a Dinner in Mexico

The Los Angeles Rams made news over the weekend with their blockbuster trade for Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford. After the dust settled, it was reported McVay and Stafford just so happen to be in Cabo to celebrate the trade.  According to Albert Breer,  the two have become close the last few years, and that’s what accelerated this deal.

“Once the deal was agreed to, some 1,100 miles south of L.A., McVay and Stafford were sitting down for dinner to celebrate a fresh start of their own,” Breer wrote on Sunday night. “The coach and his new quarterback happened to be among a number of NFL people in Cabo last week—Saints coach Sean Payton and QB Drew Brees, Rams LT Andrew Whitworth and others were nearby, too, over the last few days.”

So how exactly did Stafford and McVay become an item?

Kelly Stafford is largely to thank.

McVay is friends with Bills receivers coach Chad Hall, who is Kelly Stafford’s brother. The connection led to a friendly relationship between the Staffords and McVay in recent years, and upon the trade’s completion, the two couples joined in Cabo to celebrate.

This is what NFL guys do in January. They go to Cabo.

Whatever bromittment Goff and McVay had is clearly long gone. There’s a new bromance in Los Angeles.
