Overview
- General manager Les Snead said the team is "not desperate" to identify Matthew Stafford's long‑term successor this offseason.
- Head coach Sean McVay reported "good dialogue" with Stafford regarding his contract, signaling active but unresolved talks.
- Reporting lists Stafford’s 2026 terms as no guaranteed money, a $16 million base salary and an approximate $48.3 million cap charge.
- The Rams traded a first‑round pick and additional selections for cornerback Trent McDuffie and are viewed as less likely to draft a quarterback early, with pick No. 13 available for other needs.
- With Jimmy Garoppolo set for free agency, the team needs a new backup behind Stafford, who has said he will play in 2026.
