Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced that quarterback Matthew Stafford has reported to training camp, with the team actively working on adjusting his contract.
Stafford, who was originally set to earn $31 million this season under his four-year, $160 million deal signed after the Rams’ Super Bowl victory, has been seeking more financial security. The veteran quarterback has three years remaining on his $40-million-per-year contract extension signed in 2022, but only $15 million is guaranteed after this season. As Stafford approaches his 36th birthday, securing more guaranteed money has become a priority.
Matthew Stafford, an esteemed American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, has had a storied career. He played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs, earning first-team All-American honors before being selected first overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft. Stafford’s career statistics are impressive, ranking in the top 12 of all-time in pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. He is currently fifth all-time in passing yards per game and holds the record as the fastest player in NFL history to reach 40,000 career passing yards.
With Stafford’s commitment to the Rams and the ongoing contract adjustments, both the player and the team are looking forward to a successful season ahead.
