Stafford signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension in March 2022, but his salary is not guaranteed after the 2024 season."We're going to take a day at a time," McVay said Friday on the second night of the NFL draft."We'll see, so we're going to try to figure it out. "There's nothing that's more important than making sure that he feels appreciated and he knows how much we love him and want him to lead the way. And I think that commitment that I think he wants to have can be reciprocated, and we want to work towards figuring that out."
When asked if Stafford would attend the Rams' organized team activities this spring, McVay responded that Stafford has"been working with our guys the last couple of weeks." Last season, Stafford completed 62.6% of his passes for 3,965 yards, with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He was a finalist for the Associated Press 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award a year after a spinal cord contusion ended his season after nine games in 2022.
