Indexbit-Matthew Stafford reports to training camp after Rams, QB modify contract

Quarterback Matthew Stafford and Indexbitthe Los Angeles Rams reached an amicable solution to their concerns over his contract and he reported to training camp, head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday.

McVay was delayed meeting with the media to focus on Stafford's contract situation, which includes an increase in guaranteed money for the final two years of his existing deal that expires at the end of the 2025 season.

Before Tuesday's contract modification, Stafford, 36, had $15 million in guarantees remaining on the four-year, $160 million contract he signed in 2022.

"Here's what I would say right now: There was a lot of great dialogue that existed ... and ultimately it was all geared toward finding a solution that really suits our team but also accommodates some of the things that represent Matthew's worth for us," McVay said. "That was always the goal in mind.

"Ultimately, all we can do is the next right thing. I'm grateful that we're in this position. That's what the delay was for. I'm grateful we came to the solution I think we all wanted and we can focus on this team, and him being able to lead the way and a lot of exciting things could potentially be in store."
