Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff

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.

New Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton told FOX 2 Detroit's Dan Miller that the team's offense in 2025 will remain "predicated" on quarterback Jared Goff. "I think it's big because it all starts with the quarterback," Morton said. "Just kind of knowing him -- and when I was here, I was in the quarterback room. So, I have a feel of what he likes, what he doesn't." Morton spent a year with the Lions as a senior offensive assistant in 2022 before coaching for the Denver Broncos the last two years. He also called played under Todd Bowles as the New York Jets offensive coordinator in 2017 but was fired after one season. Morton has been in non-play-calling roles the last six years. He'll be taking over the No. 1 offense and has big shoes to fill after Ben Johnson left to be the head coach for the division-rival Chicago Bears.
