Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford signed a contract extension with the team back in 2022 right after the Super Bowl winning season. The four-year deal assures the quarterback will stay with the team until the end of the 2025-2026 football year.
In his first season with the team after leaving Detroit, he had phenomenal numbers with his 4,886 passing yards, tying Kurt Wagner's record with 41 touchdown passes in the first season in the era of 17 NFL games. His passing yards are the franchise's third best and his touchdown passes are second on the team.
The lucrative deal for $160 million dollars included $135 million guaranteed for the player who could very well finish his career in Los Angeles. With that said, now in 2024 he only has $31 million guaranteed left, and he is looking for a new deal, one that links him up for more money and considering the value he has even at age 36, he has a point on why he wants to be paid.
Analysts believe Rams should give him what he wants
ProFootballTalk analyst Mike Florio was a guest in The Pat McAfee Show and she spoke his mind on the matter. "Rams keep saying it's coming. It's coming. If he (Matthew Stafford) doesn't get it, would he really take a stand and not show up? I don't think it's in his DNA," Florio said.
Despite injuries, it is very clear that Sean McVay's Rams are a completely different team without their starting quarterback and he even mentioned a former LA signal caller, now a Detroit Lions player that actually substituted Stafford in the Motor City, on something he had to do to prove his point.
"But sometimes you have to take that stand to get what you deserve. And when Jared Goff got to $53 million a year and he's the guy that they basically gave up a first-round pick to get rid of when they traded for Stafford and he's at 40. He's clearly due for an adjustment." Only time will tell if the Rams concede however there is not much time to waste.
