Despite his desire for more guaranteed money, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford participated in the team’s offseason program. He practiced during minicamp this week as the Rams wrapped up their offseason program, and coach Sean McVay reiterated that he expects Stafford to report for the start of training camp.
McVay again declined to address Stafford’s contract situation.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the way he handled itthe way he led,” McVay said Tuesday, via ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.[He’s] I’ve been here every day doing your thing, and that definitely means a lot to me.”
Stafford, who signed a four-year, $160 million extension two years ago, has no guaranteed money beyond the 2024 season.
Since acknowledging an NFL Media report earlier this offseason that Stafford wants more guaranteed money, McVay has opted to keep the contract discussion “internal.”
Stafford was a finalist for Comeback Player of the Year last season after throwing for 3,965 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 15 games. A spinal cord injury and concussion limited him to nine games in 2022.
