Matthew Stafford To Earn $44 Million In 2025

Monday, May 5, 2:25 PM

The Los Angeles Rams and quarterback Matthew Stafford finally finalized terms on his new deal for the 2025 season, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stafford will earn $44 million this year, with $4 million already paid and the other $40 million fully guaranteed. The Rams were exploring the possibility of trading Stafford this offseason, but instead the two sides worked something out to keep him in L.A. for at least one more season. The 37-year-old two-time Pro Bowler threw for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 16 regular-season starts but had the Rams peaking in the postseason, and they almost pulled off the upset over the eventual Super Bowl-champion Eagles in the playoffs. Although Stafford makes the Rams a Super Bowl contender and he was much better down the stretch, he wasn't even a top-15 fantasy QB in 2024. Consider him as no more than a midrange QB2 in fantasy.

Brock Purdy Signs Five-Year Extension

Friday, May 16, 5:17 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has agreed to a massive extension with the organization on Friday. The two sides have agreed to a five-year, $265 million deal, which includes $181 million in guaranteed money. The 2022 Mr. Irrelevant gets his big payday with $165.1 million coming his way in the first three years of the deal. Purdy saw his numbers take a dip in 2024, but that was partly due to the 49ers dealing with so many injuries. He still threw for 3,864 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 15 games with the 49ers last season. The 25-year-old should bounce back in 2025 with a healthy team around him. This seems like a bit of an overpay by the 49ers, but that is the cost of keeping a top tier quarterback in the NFL these days.
