Matthew Stafford coy about uncertain future after Rams eliminated from playoffs

Matthew Stafford coy about uncertain future after Rams eliminated from playoffs

The future is a little bit blurry for Matthew Stafford after the Rams were knocked out of the playoffs on Sunday. 

But the 36-year-old quarterback didn’t seem too excited to discuss what he might do next season when he spoke with reporters after the 28-22 loss in Philadelphia. 

“As far as my future goes it’s 30 minutes after the last game, I’ll take some time to think about it,” Stafford said. “But I feel like I was playing some pretty good ball.” 

Stafford, a first-overall pick in 2009, has two years left on his contract, but whether he’ll remain in Los Angeles is a bit of a mystery. 

When asked by reporters if he still felt he had some gas left in the tank he replied, “Sure feels like it.”

Rams coach Sean McVay didn’t express any interest in discussing the topic either when it came up following the loss to the Eagles.

“I’m not really interested in talking about anything as it relates to next year,” he said. “Right now, I’m just appreciative of this team.”

Stafford had adjusted his contact before training camp opened last summer and it had been reported that the two sides were expected to play out the 2024 season and reᴀssess afterward. 

The Rams quarterback threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns in the NFC divisional round matchup with the Eagles and completed 340 pᴀsses for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns during the regular season.

“I’m proud to be ᴀssociated with this group, coaching staff, front office, group of players, training staff, equipment guys, everybody,” Stafford said. “It was a hell of an effort this year to get to this point. Anytime you play like this and get into the playoffs and get a win and keep it moving. Anytime you come up short it’s even tougher. That’s difficult, bit so proud to be ᴀssociated with this group.”
