Here are the details of Matthew Stafford’s adjusted contract

On the day players reported to training camp, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams agreed to an adjusted contract – something the veteran quarterback had been looking for since the spring. The last-minute agreement helped avoid any sort of holdout by Stafford and now that the details of the deal have come to light, it didn’t cost the Rams much in new money.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday that Stafford gets an additional $5 million this year, which was moved up from a future year in his contract, as well as a fully guaranteed $4 million roster bonus in 2025.

That’s a total of $9 million more over the next two years than he was scheduled to make, only $4 million of which is new money given out by the Rams.

Reports from the offseason indicated that Stafford was looking for more guaranteed money in 2025 and 2026 in order to ensure the Rams were committed to him as their quarterback but he ultimately only got $4 million more guaranteed.

He’ll now earn $36 million in each of the next two years, so it’s a slight raise through the 2025 season. This adjustment doesn’t exactly signify the Rams being more committed to him than they have been, though.

Don’t be surprised if the two sides go back to the negotiating table again in 2025 if Stafford truly wants to play several more years in the NFL.
