There have been rumors circulating that the Los Angeles Rams are growing frustrated with quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, as they navigate contract discussions for 2025. While Stafford has expressed his desire to continue playing next season, his future with the Rams is uncertain. NFL analyst Colin Cowherd has shared some inside information about the Rams’ stance on Stafford’s situation, particularly in relation to the constant media buzz surrounding him.
Cowherd noted that the Rams are getting tired of the ongoing quarterback talk and Kelly Stafford’s public criticism of the team, particularly concerning decisions like the trade rumors surrounding wide receiver Cooper Kupp. According to Cowherd, the Rams are growing weary of the drama and would prefer to move on from these distractions. While they still value Stafford, they are not eager to restructure his contract or offer him a new deal.
Regarding Stafford’s potential future, Cowherd mentioned that the New York Giants might be interested in making a move for him. He highlighted that the Giants’ management, including head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, are under pressure to win, and Stafford could be a solution for them as they seek to improve their quarterback situation.
As for Kelly Stafford’s comments, she made waves during an episode of her podcast, “The Morning After,” where she hinted at the possibility of a trade involving Stafford. She suggested that while she enjoys living in Los Angeles, she also craves new experiences and hinted that her husband is focused on winning rather than putting a team in a difficult position. Stafford, who has a $49.6 million cap hit for 2025, could be traded, with the Rams potentially saving $27 million if he’s moved after June 1 or $23 million if dealt before then.
