The Rams and Matthew Stafford are set to meet on Friday as rumors swirl about the quarterback's future in Los Angeles, multiple outlets reported.
The team gave Stafford's camp permission to contact other teams to assess his market value. He has two years left on his current deal with a salary of $27 million in 2025 and only $4 million guaranteed. By base salary -- $23 million -- Stafford is No. 8 in the NFL, using current salary information.
Stafford, 37, should be able command more than that should the Rams trade him to a quarterback-needy team, The Athletic reported.
The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders both have given details of a potential contract offer to Stafford's representatives, with each team thinking a two-year deal with guaranteed money of between $90 million and $100 million is in the ballpark, per the report.
Rams coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that the team would like to retain Stafford as its starting quarterback but there was much to consider. His contract would need to be renegotiated, for starters.
'There's no discrepancy on us wanting him to continue to lead the way and be our quarterback. The interesting and the challenging dilemma and dynamics within this are, 'Hey, how do you continuously as a head coach look at the short term and the long term and be able to figure out what does that really look like?'' McVay said on the 'Fitz & Whit' podcast.
The Giants have the No. 3 pick in the 2025 draft, with the Raiders scheduled to pick No. 6. Whether they choose to use those picks on a quarterback or potentially use them to acquire an established QB remains to be seen.
Stafford is among the league's statistical greats, ranked 10th all-time in career passing yards (59,809) and touchdown passes (377), and ninth in both pass completions and attempts. He's 5-2 with the Rams in the playoffs, including a victory in Super Bowl LVI in 2022, after going 0-3 in the postseason over his 12 seasons in Detroit.
