Matthew Stafford has already said multiple times that he’s not retiring, making it clear that he’s playing in 2023 after suffering a spinal cord contusion this season. With Sean McVay back as the head coach, the Rams are going to make sure Stafford remains in Los Angeles for at least one more year.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Rams are expected to pick up Stafford’s option bonus by the third day of the league year, which will guarantee Stafford $62 million and thus keep him on the roster.
