0:00On April 28th, the Los Angeles Rams just snag quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th pick, and the 2026 NFL draft, sparking buzz. About Matthew Stafford's future, since his contract, wraps up after that season. Teams are pushing for a new deal to keep the veteran starter locked in, with reports saying talks are moving forward, but no full agreement yet. Deave discussions are underway for an extension that covers next year and beyond, and insiders believe Stafford could play past 2026. Even so, the Rams see Simpson as their long-term guy at the position. Shaw McBae's grumpy face on draft night win viral, looking like he hated the pick, but he cleared it up quick. Turns out he was just in a mood over something unrelated, and he's actually super high on Simpson, while staying respectful to the reigning MVP, Stafford. Rams, GMless Sneed, even knows Simpson's dead, and hyped him for a first round spot. Sources confirm McBae wants to avoid any signal that Stafford's on a clock. For now, the plan is Simpson sits and learns behind Stafford for a couple years, but LA has to nail down that contract to wrap up the Vets legendary. Run on a high note.
