Details of how the Los Angeles Rams avoided a potential Matthew Stafford training camp holdout finally emerged on Sunday, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting that the team increased Stafford’s compensation by $5 million in 2024 and guaranteed him $4 million in 2025. The moves actually didn’t cost the Rams anything in new salary—the $5 million was moved up from a later contract year and the $4 million next year is a new bonus—but served as enough of a gesture to the Super Bowl-winning quarterback to avoid any potential distractions in training camp.
How does Stafford’s deal look now after the details have been announced?
