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 isn't going anywhere this year. But eventually, the Los Angeles Rams will need a new quarterback. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler charted the path for L.A.'s next QB move in a new article out Wednesday.
