After the Rams’ loss to the Eagles last weekend, quarterback Matthew Stafford said he “will take some time to think» his future as a player while adding that he “really feels” that he has some good football left.
This suggests Stafford’s thoughts will be on his future with the Rams. Stafford agreed to an adjusted contract shortly before the 2024 season and could be looking for a new deal this offseason, as he is set to earn $23 million under his current pact. On Thursday, Rams head coach Sean McVay said he was hoping for a quicker resolution this time around.
“We don’t want this to happen again,” McVay said via Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. “I don’t think it’s good for anyone. I think the sooner we can get that clarity. Understand clear, open and honest communication. I think there’s a lot of love coming from us. I think there is also a lot of appreciation on his part. And I think sooner rather than later is an ideal scenario.
McVay said “we’ll talk about all those things at the appropriate time” when asked if Stafford would play for the Rams unless he retired. So there’s a lot to sort out before we know if the Rams and Stafford will be in attendance. do business together again in 2025.
