Matthew Stafford’s Bold Move for 2025 Comes with a Demand!
Matthew Stafford is set to return to the Los Angeles Rams for the 2025 season, but there’s a catch. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the star quarterback plans to suit up again—if the team agrees to a reworked contract.
After a tough divisional-round loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Matthew Stafford was left contemplating his future in the NFL. The 36-year-old quarterback had fans and the Rams organization on edge as he mulled over his next move. Rams head coach Sean McVay even voiced his hope for a quick decision on Stafford’s future.
Stafford’s current deal with the Rams, a four-year, $160 million extension signed in 2022, underwent changes before the 2024 season.
He restructured the contract into a one-year, $40 million agreement, removing any guarantees for 2025. With only a $4 million signing bonus due shortly after the new league year begins on March 12, Stafford’s next move is still up in the air—pending the reworked terms he’s seeking.
After four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Stafford’s commitment to the team remains strong, especially after leading them to a Super Bowl victory in his first year following his trade from the Detroit Lions.
But with the contract rework hanging in the balance, the Rams now face the challenge of meeting his financial demands to keep him around for another season.
The ball is firmly in their court, as Stafford’s future with the team hinges on how they handle the contract negotiations this offseason.
