From the article

Matthew Stafford is still excellent, but the Rams may not need another MVP-level passing season from him. Their defensive front now ranks first in PFF's 2026 unit rankings after adding Myles Garrett, which could create more controlled game scripts and fewer weeks where Stafford must carry the team through volume. The quarterback position is also deep enough that I would rather wait than pay for last season's career year.

Stafford remains an excellent passer but the Rams' defensive front now ranks first in PFF's 2026 unit rankings after adding Myles Garrett, which could create more controlled game scripts and fewer weeks where Stafford must carry the team through volume. At ADP 106.3 and QB13 rank, the source prefers to wait rather than pay for last season's career year, given the quarterback position's depth.
