Sports Illustrated 's Albert Breer said Stafford's extension is similar to what the Rams did with Aaron Donald in 2022. The Rams re-negotiated Donald's extension to give him more money without altering the amount of years on his deal.

Both the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants were willing to offer Stafford more than $100 million over the next two seasons, according to Breer. Stafford instead agreed to a two-year, $84 million deal in order to remain with head coach Sean McVay and the Rams.

Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams finalized terms on a pact that pays the Super Bowl-winning quarterback $44 million for the 2025 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.
