Matthew Stafford Contract Status

If I'm the Steelers, I throw a 1st rounder at the drop of a hat
Eff them picks got the Rams a SB, why not the Steelers?
That said, if Stafford wants 50 mill guaranteed for 2025, I cant imagine a world the Rams dont do that in a second

Not saying he isn't worth it but that's where how much are the Rams willing to pay and how it's structured comes into play since we have young players that will need to be paid sooner than later as well. Think that's why McVay was talking about knowing sooner or later and Snead was talking about having conversations. Those conversations are going to be interesting since the deal will probably be a delicate, yet complicated one and as a result take time to hammer out. Still think Stafford will ultimately be back with us as long as his demands don't get out of whack.

His demands could be a little "out of whack," and still be doable. I mean, are the Rams going to give up on a deep run next year over 5-10 million dollars?

Agreed.

Nope!!

Agreed.


Nope!!

YEP!

I think Stafford would retire before agreeing to a trade, thus the Rams have zero leverage.

True, but by being out of too out of whack, I'm more so talking about a figure that the Rams aren't willing to pay. I personally don't think it will get there but Stafford wouldn't be the first or last player to not be signed because he wants too much money. Unfortunately no one knows what that is except the Rams front office. Trust me, I'm in the camp of pay the man. The decision isn't any of ours however.

Party on Garth.

Party on, Wayne.

(Excellent)

I'm curious. What is Matthew Stafford's trade value?

Let's say that both parties can't come to terms on a deal before free agency starts, McVay believes that the team could win with Garappolo, and the organization decides to move on from him..

What could they get for Stafford?

McVay is smarter than that

 

[majrleaged]

Him coming back really hasn't been the question has it? The question, and what needs clarification is for how much. So nothing has changed.

Rams have all the leverage. Stafford is under contract for two more years. The only leverage Stafford has is to hold out.

I don't know all the details of their relationship but I think it's a little aggressive of McVay to demand any kind of status from Stafford.

At least let his bruises heal up and his headache subside from the last game to catch his breath for a minute.

I mean even if you think that’s true we have clarity so mcvay got what he wanted lol

I really think they don't have all the leverage. If they don't agree to a contract, it causes a huge headache for the organization to look for his replacement in a shitty QB market. Stafford and his agent know they are by far the Rams best option at winning right now. This whole he's under contract for 2 years means squat if he holds out. With that said, the part I respect about our front office is they don't dick around when it comes to tough decisions. Not saying it will, but if it somehow got ugly on the business side, I know they will not hesitate to rip the band-aid off and do what they have to do. I don't see it going down like that, but we'll all find what truly happens in time.

McVay is smarter than that

This is a little devil's advocate position because I do believe that McVay is smarter than that...but

What if he isn't?

We've seen him trade a QB before when a backup showed that they could run things pretty well themselves. I don't think we would have traded Goff if not for how Wolford played when Goff was injured.

Could that same pattern be repeating? I dare say that Jimmy G ran the offense as well if not better than Stafford with backups against Seattle's starters. Can it be said this fact means nothing?

Stafford's only leverage is to make 0$
If he retires or holds out, he doesnt get paid

Agreed. Leverage he was willing to use last year that caused the Rams to cave.

I don't think McVay's message was just for Stafford. It was for the front office as well. McVay has nothing to do with the finances other than letting them know what he wants. What he wants is no drama going into next season. It must have been more of a distraction than we know or McVay thinks it was.

He wouldn't have traded Goff if he wasn't getting what he thought was a better QB in return. Wolford had nothing to do with the decision.

If he really holds out, Rams could cave again or simply trade him and he'll get paid.. Rams don't hold players hostage. Regardless, Stafford will play ball in 25 and get paid more than the $0 you are stating. Lmao at saying his leverage is to get $0. We are talking about the best QB that could be available to some desperate ass team out there. I just hope we find a way to keep him on the Rams so we can make another run at another SB.
