Breaking news: Rams’ QB Matthew Stafford accuses GM, Les Snead of trying to damage his reputation, following…

Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams should offer Matthew Stafford a little more guaranteed money.

According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport’s report on Thursday, Stafford is requesting a contract modification that would give him more guaranteed income past the 2024 season.

The veteran quarterback, who feels he still has a lot left in him, has been there for voluntary workouts, according to Rapoport. Still, it’s a bit of an offseason problem that the Rams should be happy with.

Entering his 16th NFL season, Stafford, 36, is a four-time member of the Rams, a team he led to a Super Bowl championship in 2021. Stafford has three more seasons left on his deal after signing a four-year, $160 million extension in the spring of 2022 in the wake of the team’s Super Bowl victory. However, according to Over the Cap, he will only receive $31 million in guaranteed compensation this year and none over the next two seasons.

It’s obvious that Stafford wants further security in his bank account before his assurances expire.

Stafford is still respected for his toughness after never missing a game for the Detroit Lions from 2011 to 2018, although he has missed 10 games in the last two seasons due to injury.

 

Even so, he proved to be a formidable opponent last season, throwing for 3,965 yards and 24 touchdowns in 15 games. Despite his stats, he still dazzled spectators with his ability to throw almost every week.

Les Snead, general manager of the Rams, has added another significant task to his list of things to complete with two days left in the 2024 NFL Draft.
