Reports broke Tuesday afternoon that Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams agreed on terms for an adjustment to his contract that likely adds guaranteed money to his deal beyond the 2024 season. Stafford has been seeking said adjustment to his contract since leaking his frustrations with his deal to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport during this spring’s NFL Draft. The reworked contract prevents a training camp holdout by the veteran quarterback.
While many Rams fans and analysts are likely sympathetic to Stafford’s case and feel he deserves additional guaranteed money on his contract for at least 2025, I tend to disagree.
