Matthew Stafford saga could end soon as ‘soft deadline’ approaches
NY Post
What’s next for Matthew Stafford could be coming into focus.
As rumors continue to swirl over where he’ll be in 2025, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Wednesday a “soft deadline” is approaching on March 14, the third day of the new league year, when the Rams quarterback is due a $4 million roster bonus, per Spotrac.
Stafford’s base salary for 2025 is $23 million, with the roster bonus putting him at $27 million cash for the year.
Although March 14 is roughly two weeks out, Breer surmises “this gets done before then” given the legal tampering period starts March 10.
Stafford, 37, has been at the center of trade buzz for much of the offseason, even after leading Los Angeles to a Divisional Round playoff berth before losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles.
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback, who was traded to the Rams in early 2021 after 12 seasons in Detroit, threw for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions through 16 games in 2024, when the Rams finished at 10-7 and won the NFC West.
