Stafford was traded to the Rams from the Lions in January 2021 in what was a franchise-altering move for both teams, with Detroit landing quarterback Jared Goff in the swap. The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl in Stafford’s first season out West.

Regardless of whether he returns, Los Angeles needs to come up with a long-term plan at quarterback. Plus, did the Ravens miss their Super Bowl window?

Matthew Stafford has a $4M roster bonus due in mid-March, and his contract has been set up as a “we’ll see” for 2025 and beyond. The money doesn’t create a hard deadline for a decision, but surely the Rams will want an idea of things 2 months from now.
