Rams' QB Future: Stafford Extension, Bennett's Role, Simpson Draft Pick

0:00On April 23rd, the Los Angeles Rams are locking in Matthew Stafford with a contract extension after his MVP season that got them to the NFC championship where they lost a close one to the Seattle Seahawks, the eventual Super Bowl champs. Behind Stafford, things are thin, with no new backup signed yet. Stetson Bennett's in the last year of his deal after coming from Georgia, and Jimmy Garoppolo, the 34-year-old from last season, is a free, age of mulling retirement. Experts like Colin Cowherd are down on Bennett as a future starter, saying Garoppolo might hang it up and Bennett just ain't the answer. Cowherd pushes for patience, like sitting a young guy behind Stafford for a couple years to develop right. NFL Draft guru Todd McShay predicts the Rams grab Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with their number 13 pick in the 2026 draft. It's seen as a luxury move since the team's shown interest, but it might weaken the roster now while Stafford's still prime. Rams front-off is spaces of big call on balancing wins today with tomorrow's quarterback
