Matthew Stafford, the Los Angeles Rams Quarterrière which could be on the commercial block during the NFL off-season, wanted to be paid more before its 17th season.
During “Good Morning Football” on Monday morning, Peter Schrager of NFL Network reported that Rams and Stafford had a “beautiful relationship”.
However, he wants to be paid more – among the best quarters of the league to be exact.

“It is nothing among them personally,” said Schranger about Stafford and Rams. “It’s a money problem. Matthew Stafford wants to be paid for what he thinks it is. He wants to be paid for more than $ 50 million.”
The Rams gave Stafford the authorization to discuss a contract with other teams this offseason despite a contract for two other seasons before it is prepared for the free agency.
According to Sports Illustrated, quarter-back teams like the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers contacted Stafford.

Schrage adds that teams are ready to pay staff more than RAMs are not willing to offer it.
For the 2025 season, Stafford has a ceiling of $ 49.67 million by Spotrac, and it increased to $ 53.67 million in 2026.
The Giants are an intriguing team in terms of negotiation for Stafford because they have the overall choice n ° 3 of the NFL draft this year. However, Schrager said the Giants would never get rid of this choice for Stafford, but perhaps a second round choice could be involved.
As for the Steelers, they were a team of the playoffs last season with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson playing under the center for them. Perhaps Pittsburgh is ready to pay a lot of money for a quarter with a Pedigree of the Super Bowl to do a eliminatory race that they have not had since 2016, when they lost in the championship of AFC.

The Browns have Deshaun Watson under contract, but after having re-tested his Achilles during rehabilitation, their quarter situation is in the limbo in 2025. Finally, the raiders, now under the direction of the legendary coach Pete Carroll, are a Reconstruction team that could use more sentence in the locker room, and Stafford certainly corresponds to the invoice.
But as Schrage said, the Rams and Stafford do not have a spoiled relationship, and perhaps they can find something.
If $ 50 million is the Stafford starting point, only nine other NFL quarters are expected to do in 2025 – Dak Prescott from Dallas Cowboys tops the list at 60 million dollars per season.
The only quarter-back that makes more than $ 50 million on this list with a Super Bowl ring like Stafford is Jalen Hurts by Philadelphia Eagles, who obtained his first Lombardi trophy at the Super Bowl Lix.

And although everything happens with Stafford, the Rams have also clearly indicated that the veteur veteran Cooper Kupp, one of the most loyal targets of his quarter, is on the commercial block. It should not be at the training camp with Los Angeles but rather a different team when a desirable commercial package is presented.
The Rams have the young star Puka Nacua, who developed a strong chemistry with Stafford in just two seasons, on the list. However, Demarcus Robinson, who was WR3, is a free -free free agent, as well as Tutu Atwell, the choice of the second round of the team from 2021.
