Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports the Rams are meeting with QB Matthew Stafford today at their facility to discuss his future with the team.
Russini adds the Raiders and Giants have discussed a two-year deal with the veteran quarterback that includes $90-$100 million guaranteed. Russini also says “a decision is expected soon.”
It was reported earlier that Stafford was seeking north of $50 million per season. His reps have reportedly met with the Giants at the combine and found common ground on a deal with the Raiders.
Despite the interest from other teams, Rams HC Sean McVay wants Stafford back with the team. He acknowledged the business disconnect between the two sides but hopes they can come to an agreement to continue the partnership.
Stafford, 37, is a former first-round pick of the Lions, who took him with the No. 1 overall pick out of Georgia in 2009. He was in the final year of a five-year, $76.5 million contract when he and the Lions agreed to a five-year, $135 million extension back in 2017.
Stafford was involved in a blockbuster trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for QB Jared Goff and draft picks in 2021. He signed a four-year extension worth $160 million that included $135 million guaranteed a year later.
The Rams and Stafford later reworked that deal going into the 2024 season, moving money up from the back of the contract. Stafford is due $27 million and $31 million in the final two years of his deal.
In 2024, Stafford appeared in 16 games for the Rams and threw for 3,762 yards while completing 65.8 percent of his passes for 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
We’ll have more on Stafford and the Rams as the news is available.
