Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has confirmed that quarterback Matthew Stafford will remain with the team in 2025, despite a reworked contract. When asked if he ever thought Stafford wouldn’t be back, McVay said no, citing an “understanding” from last season’s negotiations that led to the extension. The new deal allows for more flexibility in terms of valuation and value for the team, with McVay noting it was a “great reflection of him and our group.” While Garoppolo is also expected to return as backup, Stafford has earned interest from other teams, making this season’s negotiations faster than last year’s seven-month process.
