The Los Angeles Rams are faced with the dissatisfaction of their playmaker Matthew Stafford and so far are avoiding it.

The Los Angeles Rams have to deal with the dissatisfaction of their quarterback. According to “NFL.com”, Matthew Stafford wants the team to adjust his contract so that he receives more guaranteed salary in the final two years (2025 and 2026).

According to the current status, the playmaker will receive 31 million US dollars in guaranteed salary in the 2024 season, but nothing more has been promised for the period after that.

Accordingly, the contract currently looks like the Rams can easily part ways with Stafford after the coming season, which is why he would probably like assurances that the team wants to hold on to him after that.

Head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead were asked about the matter during the NFL Draft, but sidestepped the issue several times. McVay explained that he had a “good dialog” with the signal caller. “We’re going to keep those things within the franchise, though.”

When asked if the team will be able to find a solution to the contract issue, GM Snead stated, “We’re definitely happy to have Matthew as our quarterback. “

McVay emphasizes Stafford’s importance to the Rams

If Stafford is truly unhappy, he could skip OTAs this spring. With that in mind, the head coach explained, “We’re going to think day to day. We’ll see and try to figure it out.”

He continued, “There’s nothing more important than making sure he feels appreciated and knows how much we love him and want him to lead us. I think that commitment that he wants can be reciprocated and we want to work to figure that out.”

Stafford signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March 2022 – just one month after leading the franchise to a Super Bowl victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.
