NFL - The Athletic on Matthew Stafford

Career year at 38 unlikely to repeat; Ty Simpson drafted as future bridge.

Matthew Stafford, 38 years old, is facing questions about repeating his career year at quarterback. The source notes it is dangerous to expect any player to repeat a career year, especially at age 38, and that the Rams recognized they needed the defense to provide star power that last year's offense provided. The Rams drafted Ty Simpson as a bridge to the future at the quarterback position, with the expectation that Simpson will be starting by 2029 and 2030, when Garrett's cap hits reach $42.4 million and $50 million respectively.
