Stafford, 36, said after the Rams’ season ended that he still feels like he can play at a high level, but the possibility of retirement looms large. He’ll be 37 in February, has already won a Super Bowl and though he’s still playing well, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he chose to retire this offseason.

The Los Angeles Rams could move on from quarterback Matthew Stafford this offseason. Other teams will be eager to have him instead.

Stafford was traded to the Rams from the Lions in January 2021 in what was a franchise-altering move for both teams, with Detroit landing quarterback Jared Goff in the swap. The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl in Stafford’s first season out West.
