This year’s NFL combine has been marked by rumblings of a supposedly chance run in between Tom Brady and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason as the Rams asses the team’s future, and his agent has reportedly been given permission to speak to teams.

The biggest story, so far, of the Scouting Combine has a straight-line connection to the competing reports regarding whether and to what extent the Raiders’ interest in Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford resulted in Stafford visiting Raiders minority owner Tom Brady at his Montana home.
