Matthew Stafford is Staying in LA
The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2024 season one win shy of the NFC Championship game. So why would they let their star QB walk away? They won’t, as the Rams and Matthew Stafford have agreed to a restructured contract, and SoFi breathes a sigh of relief.
Stafford’s agent, Jimmy Sexton, was given permission by the Rams to talk to other teams about Stafford’s value. Discussions were had with the Raiders and the Giants, but the Rams get their Hollywood ending.
With the Stafford question answered, other teams and other QBs can figure out their 2025 plans.
Will Aaron Rodgers Stay a New Yorker?

Rodgers’ brief tenure with the Jets included a 6-12 record and a torn Achilles about three seconds into his first game. You know what they say, home is where the heart is, or at least where a second NFL franchise is.
