At the start of this offseason, creeping commercial rumors surrounded the Los Angeles Rams Matthew Stafford quarterrier. New York Giants were interested, as are Las Vegas raiders and probably other teams.
Alas, Stafford is not going. He agreed with the RAMs to a reworked contract, and he will stay in Los Angeles for at least a year. According to head coach Sean Mcvay, Stafford was never really going anywhere anyway.
“It was never something that had the impression of getting closer, and it was never something that I allowed my mind to go,” said Mcvay, via espn.
Mcvay also said that he expects to resume the same process with Stafford next year, via athleticsAnd to redo it on one basis from one year to another as long as Stafford wants to continue playing. The Rams also agreed from the last off -season to adjust the staff contract so that it remains with the RAMs for 2024.
The figures of 2024 of Stafford seem somewhat pedestrians on the surface: it completed 65.8% of its passes to an average of 7.3 yards per attempt, with 20 affected against eight interceptions. However, once Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp came back from their injuries, his figures have increased. It went from 7.3 yards by attempted at 7.9, and its rhythm of touched on the interception increased to 29 affected and seven choices while it was at a rate of 4,029 yards.

He then played well in the playoffs, going 45 out of 71 for 533 yards and four scores against two of the Nfl Best defenses. It is therefore logical that Mcvay pushes relief sighs when he returns to the fold. He “slept better in recent days” since the team has accepted conditions with Stafford, Mcvay said to athletics.
Even if the Rams separate from Kupp, as expected, they should be able to build a strong attack around Stafford, Nacua, Kyren Williams and which otherwise add this off -season to the mixture. It is much better from a starting point than where they would have been if they were actually sent Stafford via trade.
