BREAKING NEWS: Sean McVay Send A Clear Message About Key Star Contract Issue

The Los Angeles Rams appear to be content with Matthew Stafford.

And why wouldn’t they be? He’s led them to the playoffs every season he’s been healthy, including a successful Super Bowl run.

However, he’s getting older, and despite his toughness and reputation for playing through injuries, there are concerns about his long-term viability.

This is why it makes sense for him to seek more guaranteed money from the team while he still has some leverage.

Reportedly, Stafford is looking for additional guaranteed money beyond this season, especially after seeing Jared Goff secure a substantial contract with the Detroit Lions last week.

However, we’re unlikely to get many updates on this matter, as Head Coach Sean McVay has stated that contract negotiations will remain private (via ProFootballTalk).

“Out of respect for the situation, we’ll just keep it in-house,” McVay said. “What I appreciate is that he’s here leading the way, and it’s been a good couple of days for him.”

Despite the uncertainty, the veteran quarterback has attended OTAs, and there are no indications that he plans to hold out or engage in a dispute with the organization.

The Rams are coming off an impressive season, finishing strong and nearly upsetting the Lions in the playoffs.

Although losing Aaron Donald is a significant setback for their future prospects, they still have a chance to compete at a high level as long as they have the former No. 1 pick at quarterback.
