Quarterback Matthew Stafford has hinted he may not return to the Los Angeles Rams, saying he’ll “take some time to think” about his future after Sunday’s divisional-round playoff loss. Stafford, 36 and entering his final year of a two-year contract with $4 million guaranteed, feels like he still has game left in him, despite being underpaid by market standards. The Rams are undergoing a youth movement, with coach Sean McVay potentially looking for a younger quarterback.
Stafford’s comments come amid rumors the team was hoping to trade for Aaron Rodgers last season but ultimately decided against it. If Stafford leaves, he’ll be one of several veteran quarterbacks available in free agency or through trades. The Rams’ uncertain future at quarterback adds to their already awkward situation, as they navigate a transition period with an up-and-coming defense and young stars like Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua.
