In a highly anticipated move, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has broken his silence after finalizing a new two-year contract extension with the team. Stafford, the 4-star veteran QB, who joined the Rams in 2021, has played a pivotal role in leading the team to their Super Bowl LVI victory that year. Now, with his future secured for at least two more seasons, Stafford spoke openly about his excitement for the next chapter in his career.
Stafford, who was originally traded from the Detroit Lions to the Rams for a package of valuable draft picks, has proven to be an invaluable asset to the franchise. The deal, reportedly worth up to $80 million, includes significant guarantees, solidifying the Rams’ confidence in Stafford’s ability to continue performing at the highest level. The new contract comes after a season that saw the quarterback deal with injuries but still demonstrate his leadership and skill on the field.
In his first public comments following the agreement, Stafford expressed gratitude for the opportunity to remain with the Rams, emphasizing the importance of his relationship with both the team and the city. “It feels great to be able to continue my career here with the Rams,” Stafford said. “From the moment I arrived in Los Angeles, I felt at home. The fans, the organization, my teammates—everything about this place has been amazing. I’m excited for what’s next.”
Stafford’s new contract extends his stay in Los Angeles through the 2025 season, ensuring that the Rams’ franchise quarterback will remain under center for the foreseeable future. Rams head coach Sean McVay also commented on the deal, praising Stafford’s leadership both on and off the field. “Matthew has been everything we’ve wanted and more. His professionalism, his football IQ, and his ability to perform under pressure make him one of the best quarterbacks in the league,” McVay said.
The signing comes at a critical juncture for the Rams, who are in the midst of rebuilding their roster around Stafford after a few turbulent seasons. Stafford’s presence in Los Angeles provides the stability and experience needed to guide the team back into championship contention, with young talent like wide receiver Cooper Kupp and defensive stars like Aaron Donald continuing to bolster the squad.
For Rams fans, the signing of Stafford is a reason to celebrate. With the future of the franchise quarterback secured, the team can now focus on building around their leader in pursuit of another Super Bowl title. As Stafford put it, “There’s still a lot of work to do, but I’m ready for the challenge.”
