There was a point during the 2025 NFL<\/a> offseason when Matthew Stafford<\/a> appeared open to leaving<\/a><\/span> the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>. Two months after the 37-year-old quarterback agreed to stick around under a revised contract, however, head coach Sean McVay hopes the veteran will remain his signal-caller for at least “a couple more years.”<\/p>\n “We have a chance with him every time he’s at the switch, and [I] love working with him,” McVay told “Mad Dog Sports Radio”<\/a> this week. “And I think he can play as long as he wants, but fortunately, I’m hoping it’s a couple more years. … I think he came out of this season feeling really good physically.”<\/p>\n Stafford is technically under contract with the Rams through the 2026 season after agreeing to a reported two-year, $80 million extension this year. He’s given mixed signals regarding his long-term playing future, however, openly contemplating retirement after each of the last two seasons but suggesting prior to the 2024 campaign that he hoped to play for “three or four more seasons<\/a><\/span>,” or roughly until age 40.<\/p>\n
