Matthew Stafford won’t leave the Rams. The veteran quarterback has reached an agreement to restructure his contract, confirming that the star is ready to pursue another Super Bowl alongside head coach Sean McVay.

Just a few weeks ago, Stafford was very close to eliminating the Eagles on the road in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Philadelphia eventually lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans.

Now, after several rumors placing him on the radar of teams like the Giants, Raiders, or the Pittsburgh Steelers, Matthew Stafford has concluded that his best chance for success is in Los Angeles, accompanied, of course, by the expected salary increase, which is speculated to be $50 million per year.

Will Matthew Stafford leave the Rams?

No. The Los Angeles Rams have confirmed on their social media that Matthew Stafford will remain with the team on a restructured contract. This decision keeps them as Super Bowl contenders alongside the Eagles and Commanders in the NFC.

Although the details of the new deal have not been revealed, several reports indicate that it’s close to meeting Stafford’s expectations of receiving a salary that matches his real value in the NFL. If players with fewer accolades, like Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawrence, or Jordan Love, are currently in the $50 million annual benchmark, he should get at least that number.
