Matthew Stafford will continue as the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams throughout the 2025 season.

Recent reports indicate that Stafford and the Rams have reached an agreement on a restructured contract that will keep him in Los Angeles.

In the days leading up to the deal, Stafford engaged in discussions with the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders regarding potential contract offers, as he and the Rams had yet to finalize their negotiations. After considering their proposals, he returned for a meeting with Rams management on Friday, while the NFL community speculated about the possibility of a trade.

The specifics of Stafford’s new contract have not been disclosed. Previously, he was slated to receive a base salary of $23 million, a figure that pales in comparison to other quarterbacks with less impressive NFL records. Reports suggested other teams were offering contracts in the range of $90 to $100 million over the next two years.

However, the Rams present a significantly better opportunity for success than the other teams, which may have influenced the financial component of this new deal. Regardless of the exact figures involved, the Rams have secured their quarterback, leaving the Giants and Raiders to explore other options to address their critical offensive needs.
