Stafford drops retirement plan
Stafford himself boosted his retirement price before 2029-30 with his recent comments on his retirement plan. Stafford went on Chris Long’s Green Light podcast and said he is deciding on a “year-to-year” basis whether he retires or not.
“It is year-to-year because I think it's fair to the team, I think it's fair to me, my family — I don't want to sit there and say, OK, 24 months from now, I've got to be ready to play another football season,” Stafford told Long. “I know that I'm ready to play this year. And hopefully, I feel great at the end of next year, and I'm ready to play another one after that. And then maybe we just kind of keep going like that. But, committing to more than that feels a little bit daunting. And I think a little bit unfair to the team and myself.”
Stafford's contract and the Rams' plan
Stafford is locked in with the Los Angeles Rams for at least the next two seasons. LA does have a succession plan in place after drafting former Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In his lone season starting for Alabama, Simpson threw for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
