Matthew Stafford wants the Los Angeles Rams to restructure his contract to include more guaranteed money, and he deserves it. However, waiting for negotiations hasn’t stopped him from participating in voluntary OTAs. Stafford is practicing with his Rams teammates, including Stetson Bennett, and hasn’t shown any signs of a potential holdout.
After Jared Goff’s lucrative deal with the Lions, Stafford’s agents are pushing for a similar treatment from the Rams. With his Super Bowl win and superior performance, Stafford deserves a salary closer to $50 million annually.
While his 2024 salary of $31 million is guaranteed, uncertainties loom for the following year. Stafford could seek a revamped three-year, $150 million contract with $100 million guaranteed, fitting for a seasoned Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Despite the contract talks, Stafford remains focused on practice, maintaining his professional demeanor and avoiding media conflicts. It’s anticipated that the Rams will address his contract soon.
