Rams Expected to Retain Matthew Stafford Despite Trade Speculation

The 37-year-old quarterback plans to play in 2025, with reports suggesting the Rams are working to address his contract situation.

Matthew Stafford has confirmed his intention to play in the 2025 NFL season, with sources indicating he is likely to remain with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams are reportedly supportive of Stafford's return but may need to restructure his contract to address a $50 million cap hit for 2025.
Speculation about a potential trade arose after Rams GM Les Snead's comments about being open to trade discussions and Cooper Kupp's announcement that the team plans to trade him.
Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford, expressed mixed feelings about the Rams' direction, particularly regarding the decision to trade Kupp, but stated she is open to a new chapter if necessary.
Stafford had a strong 2024 season, leading the Rams to the playoffs and maintaining his status as a top-tier quarterback despite his age.
