Rams' Sean McVay never thought Matthew Stafford wouldn't return

LOS ANGELES -- While he's "been sleeping better" since Matthew Stafford agreed to an adjusted contract, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay on Monday said there was never a time he thought the quarterback wouldn't be on the roster in 2025.

"No," McVay said. "That was never something that I ever thought would occur."

The reworked contract came after the Rams gave Stafford's agent, Jimmy Sexton, permission to speak to other teams about his market value. Stafford, who signed an extension with the Rams in March 2022, had two seasons left on that deal.
