Rams rework Matthew Stafford’s contract to avoid holdout, but no extension for QB

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams have come to a resolution with quarterback Matthew Stafford to avoid a potential holdout during training camp, which starts Wednesday at Loyola Marymount University. “Ultimately, it was all geared towards finding a solution that really suits our team but also accommodates some of the things that represent Matthew’s worth for us,” McVay said. His teammates love him, they feel really confident in his ability to lead, and I think we are unanimous in that feeling.” McVay’s pre-camp news conference was delayed nearly three hours as he and Rams management worked to finalize the adjustment with Stafford and player agent Jimmy Sexton. “And that’s why we’re here right now.” Stafford threw for 3,965 yards and 24 touchdowns against 11 interceptions last season, helping the Rams reach the playoffs despite significant roster turnover to navigate salary cap concerns.
