As speculation continues to swirl around Matthew Stafford’s future, Rams general manager Les Snead doubled down on the team’s desire to reshape its roster around the star quarterback this offseason.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Snead called Stafford “one of our pillars” while expressing the faith team brass still has in the 35-year-old after an injury-shortened season for the QB and the Rams’ tumultuous 5–12 campaign. Snead’s remarks followed a report that surfaced earlier Thursday from The Daily Coach’s Michael Lombardi, who stated Stafford is “fully available” but can’t be moved due to the remaining money in a four-year, $160 million extension he signed last offseason after L.A.’s Super Bowl LVI victory.
“I think we’ll definitely rely on Matthew, he’s definitely one of our pillars,” Snead said, via The Athletic. “He’s definitely someone we’re going to rely on, (who) we’re gonna have to rely on as we do remodel this.”
