Matthew Stafford Close to Making Decision on Returning to Rams—Giants and Raiders Circling
Matthew Stafford has earned $145M in 4 seasons with the Rams. He’s on the books for $58M more through 2026. Would an extra $32M, and a full guarantee for those 2 years solidify him staying? Well, we shall see. Matthew Stafford is close to making a decision on either returning to the Rams or officially moving on to another team.
As reported previously, Stafford recently had been given permission to talk with other teams. This freedom caught the attention of other organizations. And two notable NFL franchises have come to the fore in their pursuit of Matthew. Nonetheless, it seems like the Los Angeles Rams are still working very hard to KEEP Matthew Stafford despite all the outside noise. NFL insider Ian Rapoport states,
“From our NFL Combine coverage: A decision is coming in the situation surrounding Rams QB Matthew Stafford, with all options on the table. That includes, per The Insiders, a return to LA.
A Matthew Stafford decision looms, and his return to the Rams feels more likely to those involved. Nothing final. But clearly more likely than a few days ago when it appeared he was set to leave.”
Additionally, the Rams efforts has not apparently stopped the Giants or Raiders from throwing their cap into the mix. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports,
“The Rams are set to meet with Matthew Stafford at their facility in person today regarding his future, per sources.
The Raiders and Giants have discussed a two-year contract for Stafford that includes $90-100M guaranteed.
A decision is expected soon.”

Furthermore, with these numbers emerging from other teams; it helps make Los Angeles’ job easier. They get a feel for the market when it comes to Stafford. And can have an idea or value we should say in mind when discussing things with their quarterback later today.
But even with all of this outsider interest, the undercurrent feeling leans towards Stafford and the Rams working things out. As NFL Networks’ Mike Garafolo explains, “The longer this has gone on, the better the chances of Matthew Stafford returning to the Rams. They’re the team that gives him the best shot at a second ring right now. And again, uprooting everything right now isn’t preferable.”
However, but sides have to want to remain together. It’s as much as Stafford’s decision as it is the Rams. But soon, we will know what the future will hold for both parties.
