Matthew Stafford will be receiving a bit more in his paycheck for this season after the Rams and the quarterback agreed on an adjusted contract right before the start of training camp last week.
The QB is getting $5 million more upfront this season and his roster bonus for the 2025 offseason is increasing from $5 million to $9 million, with the increase in upfront money coming from a later part of his contract.
“I’m happy to be where I am,” Stafford said, according to the Los Angeles Times . “I’m happy to be here. I’m happy to be playing. I’m excited about playing football this year and that’s what matters to me the most.”

However, he wouldn’t go into details about his feelings during the uncertainty that it would happen.
“I do a pretty stressful thing for a living, so I’m used to those kind of things,” Stafford said. “I’m not interested in kind of reliving my moment by moment feelings here or there, but I am interested in pushing this team and getting to play with these guys for another season.”
Stafford is coming off a season where he threw 3,965 yards, 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
