The Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford have agreed to a restructured contract that keeps the quarterback in Los Angeles, the team announced on Friday.
The adjusted contract came after the Rams gave Stafford's agent, Jimmy Sexton, permission to speak to other teams about his market value. After discussions with the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants about contract parameters, Stafford and the Rams were able to come to an agreement on a reworked contract.
Earlier in the week, Rams head coach Sean McVay said on the "Fitz & Whit" podcast that the Rams' "first goal" is to have Stafford remain the team's starting quarterback but that the organization is trying to balance the short-term and long-term roster decisions that come from an adjusted contract.
