McVay Confirms Stafford's Extended Rams Tenure

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has expressed strong hopes that veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford will remain with the team for at least a couple more years, pointing to Stafford’s physical well-being and leadership. This offseason, Stafford openly contemplated retirement and was allowed to explore trade options, attracting interest from teams such as the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders, but ultimately chose to stay with the Rams, signing a revised contract out of loyalty to McVay. The Rams did not select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, signaling continued reliance on Stafford as their starter, though they retain future draft capital for long-term planning. McVay highlighted the renewed sense of gratitude and the strengthened partnership with Stafford, stating the team 'has a chance with him every time he's at the switch.' With Stafford’s return and an active offseason, the Rams are positioned as potential Super Bowl contenders. While the situation remains year-to-year, both coach and quarterback are committed to maximizing their remaining time together.
