INDIANAPOLIS — After days of conversations and rumors circulating the NFL scouting combine, the biggest domino of the 2025 quarterback carousel settled Friday afternoon.
The Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford agreed to a restructured deal after the club had granted the veteran permission to explore his trade market.
The echoes reverberate far beyond the Los Angeles-area halls of Rams headquarters.
As an NFC executive explained to Yahoo Sports on Tuesday morning, determining the quarterback landscape would not be linear and hinged on one clear starting factor. Stafford was, to most suitors, the most attractive free-agent quarterback if available.
