In the aftermath of the Los Angeles Rams' playoff loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Matthew Stafford is grappling with his future in the NFL. Following the game, Stafford indicated that retirement isn't on his mind, stating, "I feel like I was playing some pretty good ball." While he has two years remaining on his contract worth $49 million, the Rams' decision regarding his return is uncertain. Stafford's performance this season was solid, finishing with 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns, and a QB rating of 93.7.

The Rams have not made significant progress in contract discussions and must weigh their options, considering possible replacements like Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson. Stafford's leadership and on-field capability make him a valued asset, with teammate Puka Nacua expressing unwavering confidence in him.
