Stafford extended through 2027; remains Rams' primary starter over Simpson.

Stafford, the reigning NFL MVP, was signed for the 2026 season when Simpson was drafted No. 13 overall. The Rams' selection of Simpson was considered a surprise given Stafford's MVP status and the team's Super Bowl contention. Stafford subsequently agreed to a one-year, $55 million contract extension through 2027, keeping him as the primary starter and providing Simpson additional time to develop.
