Rams Plan Ahead, Not Panicking Over Stafford's Future

0:00On March 5, the Los Angeles Rams know Matthew Stafford, their 38-year-old quarterback, fresh off an MVP season, is nearing the end of his career. With his year-to-year contract set up, the team stays realistic about finding a successor down the line. General manager Les Neid made it clear this week during a press call, there's no rush to draft a new quarterback this off-season. The Rams are planning ahead, but not panicking over Stafford's future. mock-drafts had pegged them to grab Alabama's tie Simpson at the 29th pick. That spot, though, went into a trade for Kansas City quarterback Trent McDuffy shifting those plans. Meanwhile, backup Jimmy Garoppolo hits free agency soon. Coach Charmig Bay says they welcome him back, but get it if he chases a starting gig elsewhere. For now, the priority stays on getting the most out of Stafford while he's still slaying passes for the Rams.
