Kelly Stafford went ‘mad’ amid Matthew Stafford’s uncertain future with Rams
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recent contract restructuring brought relief to his wife Kelly Stafford, as she shared on her podcast “The Morning After.” While the process was not always smooth sailing, Kelly expressed her happiness that Matthew would be remaining with the Rams.
The uncertainty surrounding Matthew’s future with the team began after the 2024 season ended. Reports surfaced indicating that the Rams were hesitant to renegotiate his lucrative contract extension signed in 2022. There were even rumors that Stafford was allowed to explore his options with other teams.
However, last Friday, the Rams announced that they had reached a restructured deal with Stafford. While the details of the agreement have not been disclosed, head coach Sean McVay clarified that the contract did not add any additional years, keeping Matthew in Los Angeles through the 2026 season.
Kelly praised McVay for his transparency throughout the negotiations, stating that she was grateful for his efforts to ensure that everything was fair for everyone involved. She expressed her relief that Matthew would be able to continue playing for the team and coach he wanted to finish his career with.
Despite the speculation of a potential trade to the New York Giants, Matthew Stafford’s future now seems secure with the Rams. Last season, he threw for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns, leading the team to a 10-7 record and an NFC West division title before reaching the playoffs.
Kelly Stafford’s candid revelations on her podcast shed light on the emotional toll that contract negotiations can take on athletes and their families. Ultimately, the Stafford household can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Matthew will continue to lead the Rams on the field.
