Matthew Stafford to Stay with Rams After Restructured Contract Agreement

The veteran quarterback remains in Los Angeles despite trade discussions with the Giants and Raiders earlier this offseason.

Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams have agreed to a restructured contract, ensuring his return for the 2025-26 season.
Stafford had two years remaining on his previous deal, but the Rams permitted him to explore trade options with other teams before finalizing the new agreement.
The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders had reportedly shown interest in Stafford, with the Giants considering a contract offer in the $90-$100 million range.
Rams head coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of retaining Stafford while balancing the team’s roster-building needs under the adjusted contract.
Stafford, who led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 2022, finished the 2024 season with 3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and an NFC West title.
