LOS ANGELES \u2014 Reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Matthew Stafford has agreed to a one-year contract extension through the 2027 season with the Rams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rams announced the deal Thursday without immediately revealing its value. ESPN reported the 2027 deal is worth $55 million with a potential to increase to $60 million, a raise from his salary for the upcoming season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deal indicates that the 38-year-old Stafford is at least strongly thinking about staying with the Rams past 2026. That\u2019s notable because Stafford has professed a year-to-year mentality about his future ever since he led the Rams to a Super Bowl championship in February 2022, and he only confirmed he would return for the upcoming season while accepting his MVP trophy in February.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Rams then surprised the league by drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick last month, throwing Stafford\u2019s long-term future into momentary doubt \u2014 until head coach Sean McVay made it quite clear that Stafford is the Rams\u2019 starting quarterback for as long as he decides to play.<\/span><\/p>\n
