That's great news for the Rams. Not so great for Ty Simpson. The Rams drafted Simpson in the first round this year, meaning that he is under contract through 2029, with a fifth-year option for 2030. However, Simpson only played one season of college football, so getting him on the field as soon as possible would be ideal for his development.

Simpson's development blocked by Stafford's projected 3-4 elite years ahead.

Ty Simpson, drafted by the Rams in the first round in 2025, faces a significant depth chart hurdle with Matthew Stafford's continued elite performance and potential for 3-4 more prime years. Simpson has only one season of college football experience, making early playing time ideal for his development, but Stafford's MVP-caliber play and Brees's projection of sustained excellence could keep Simpson benched through his contract (2029 with a fifth-year option for 2030). The source notes this is 'not so great for Ty Simpson' given Stafford's trajectory.
