Quarterback Matthew Stafford to Continue Playing, But Uncertain Future Looms for LA Rams

After a nail-biting loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford seemed unsure about his future in the NFL. However, it appears he will continue to play, with NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reporting the 36-year-old’s intentions to play his 17th season.

Despite this, Stafford’s future with the Rams is uncertain. The veteran quarterback carries a $49.6 million cap number into the 2025 campaign, which could make him a pricey commodity for the team. In a post-June 1 trade, the Rams could save $27 million by dealing him, or $23 million with a post-June 1 cut.

Rams head coach Sean McVay has expressed his desire to resolve the situation “sooner rather than later,” but the team has no immediate plans to replace Stafford. Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is an impending unrestricted free agent, and third-stringer Stetson Bennett has yet to play in a regular-season game.

Despite a mercurial season in 2024, Stafford’s arm talent remains elite, and his play in the postseason was exceptional. He threw for 209 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in the wild-card win over the Minnesota Vikings, and followed that up with 324 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in the loss to the Eagles.

With his plans to continue playing, Stafford has indicated that he has plenty left in the tank, and the Rams will now have to determine his future with the team.
