The news of Stafford's return to Los Angeles came just days after the Super Bowl-winning quarterback was permitted to speak with other teams.

The Rams quarterback, who had been rumored to be seeking a new team, is restructuring his contract to remain with the team where he won a Super Bowl.

The Rams are in good shape, at a projected $43 million under the cap, according to Spotrac, which is the middle of the pack compared to the rest of the NFL. That means the Rams should be able to re-sign their priority free agents and perhaps still have money left over.

It was no secret that as of Friday morning, the Las Vegas Raiders were willing to trade for and pay Los Angeles Rams starting quarterback Matthew Stafford if he and the Rams could not agree on a restructured contract.

We say both the Rams and the 49ers are in a win-now mode ... and that they will try to be that with their incumbent QB's in place.

With Aaron Rodgers on his way out of New York, it appears he's already decided where he wants to play in 2025. The veteran's preference is to play for the Los Angeles Rams, according to the New York Daily News. Yet for that to happen, the Rams would have to move on from Matthew Stafford.

The Los Angeles Rams and star quarterback Matthew Stafford agreed to a restructured deal to keep Stafford in Los Angeles, the team announced Friday.

San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach and quarterback Brock Purdy's mentor, Brian Griese, decided to end his coaching career after three seasons.
