Despite fighting for a new contract, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford attends the first day of OTAs.
On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams kicked off their first day of organized team activities . They were one of 21 teams to get things started, and it appears the whole crew was in attendance, including Rams Super Bowl-winning quarterbackMatthew Stafford was on the field during OTAs today.
Last month, Sean McVay acknowledged an NFL Network report that Stafford wants more guaranteed money on his contract but was not clear whether the QB would be on the field this week.Stafford is reportedly seeking a new contract this offseason. Rams head coach Sean McVay said he was unsure if Stafford would report to OTAs, considering his desire for more guaranteed money.
However, Stafford showed his professionalism and showed up like the pro he is. While it is a good sign he was in attendance, this doesn't mean he's happy with what he's got. Most of the 36-year-old's base salaries before 2024 are non-guaranteed. The two-time Pro Bowler wants to ensure he's protected beyond this year, hence the fight for a new contract. It's still too early to tell whether the two sides will agree on a contract.
The Rams have several question marks heading into the season, but none are on the offensive side. That could all change, though. If Stafford is not around for one reason or another, the sirens for L.A. will be ringing.
