Matthew Stafford recently said he would “take a little time“To decide his Nfl Future, fresh out of a 16th season at 36 years old. Less than two weeks later, the quarter of Los Angeles Rams seems to have made its decision, with the NFL Media reported on Wednesday that the former Super bowl champion plans to come back in 2025.
Stafford essentially communicated as much to Rams, by Ian Rapoport, believing that he was in good physical condition to adapt to his age 37 years. That said, Stafford is unlikely to return to Los Angeles as part of his current contract, speculated Rapoport, given his last minute restructuring before the 2024 season.
The double quarter of the Pro Bowl, which led three appearances in a four-season qualifying series with the RAMs, is technically due to nearly $ 50 million in 2025 as part of a four-year extension signed after the victory From the Los Angeles Super Bowl in 2021. However, only $ 4 million from its 2025 salary hit are fully guaranteed, By on the capAnd that none of the $ 53.6 million Stafford is due in 2026 is no longer guaranteed.
Provided that the RAMs accept Stafford on a revised agreement, perhaps with more guarantees cooked in the current framework, all the signs indicate that the open 2025 with the veteran under the center. Coach Sean Mcvay recently approved Stafford as a quarter-rear in the future, even saying that he preferred to hear the plans of the signator “earlier than” to inform the team’s off-season plans.
If Stafford fails to conclude a new agreement with the RAMs, Los Angeles could also seek to save from $ 4 million to $ 23 million by exchanging or releasing the quarter-rear as a post-June reduction . It would probably have become the most coveted veteran quarterrier of the 2025 offseason if it was made available.
Stafford said before 2024, in which he played his greatest number of games since the Super Bowl season, to which he would be open to Play for several additional seasonsDespite the fight against injury in 2022 and 2023.
“I appreciate this game,” he said to “Forgive my point of view” Back in August. “It gave me a ton. I hope I have three or four (seasons) in me. We will see. Each year is a new year. But I feel good.”
