Reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford agreed to a one-year, $55 million extension with the Los Angeles Rams, keeping him with the team through the 2027 season. The deal leaves $105 million remaining on his contract.
According to ESPN, the agreement was reported by Adam Schefter. The extension adds another year to Stafford's current deal and locks him into L.A. for the near future as the franchise continues to build around its veteran quarterback.
Stafford won the MVP award in the most recent NFL season. The extension signals the Rams' continued commitment to him as their starter and their belief that he remains capable of leading the team at a high level.
The $55 million figure for a single year reflects the current market for elite NFL quarterbacks. At $105 million remaining on the full deal, the Rams have made a significant financial commitment to Stafford going into his age-38 season.
No additional terms of the contract were immediately available.
