The Rams bit the bullet to get out of cap hell. Now Stafford wants to put them right back in it. The guy is injury prone. Look at 2022 and again last year. Big ass red flags.Stafford missed one game last year. A freak injury to the thumb that can and has happened to other quarterbacks. The year before was a lost year. Donald and Kupp ended up on IR. My guess is all 3 would have kept playing if they were in contention for a playoff. No point in risking your 3 stars if it means nothing. With an offensive line that suffered unprecedented injuries. They were not going to protect Stafford with what they had. by ramsman34 2 weeks 10 hours ago Total posts: 8625 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby!

And if he wants to play 3 more years, he is going to want to be paid like the best in the NFC and top 5. His current contract isn’t set up that way. So ya it will cost more money but we keep him for 3+ more years. A. The cap hit is spread out B. WE GET 3 MORE YEARS ABLE TO COMPETE FOR A SB TITLE. The latter allows the Rams to build the team up for Stafford and have the team more veteran when the next QB is up. 1 by Elvis 2 weeks 6 hours ago Total posts: 38705 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Stafford Wants More Guaranteed Money POST #25 TOPIC AUTHOR actionjack, rams74 liked this post Dare wrote:Kroenke is a businessman and as such he should know a shakedown when he encounters one.

The remaining $32M is $27M in salary and a $5M roster bonus. $10M of the salary became guaranteed last month. So there's $22M unguaranteed. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id ... w-staffordIt's a small risk...but Rams are DOA anyway if Stafford retires or gets permanently injured this year and can't play next year...so why not guarantee the remaining $22M. If he's here and able to play, there's zero cap impact in doing that. It would just make the dead money much greater, but Rams are all in on him playing in 2025 anyway. Can leave the out for 2026 alone...or make that guaranteed shortly after the start of the 2026 league year. Again, no impact if he's healthy and doesn't pull an AD. 2 by actionjack 1 week 6 days ago Total posts: 4023 Joined: May 19 2016 Sactown Superstar Stafford Wants More Guaranteed Money POST #27 Stafford is the straw the stirs the drink, he is what will give us a chance of being elite. He is that dude. IMO the is great news, shows he wants to plan for 3-4 years. It will get done, the Rams know Stafford is our secret weapon. Last year he played at an incredibly high level, one of the best by any QB...ever.
