Matthew Stafford News
Monday, April 20, 7:02 PM
The Los Angeles Rams and MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford have made "significant progress" on a new contract extension that should put him in the building for the 2026 offseason, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. A deal is not done yet for Stafford, whose current contract runs through the 2026 campaign, but head coach Sean McVay said earlier this year that he thinks Stafford could play beyond the upcoming season. The 38-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler was present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason program, but it doesn't mean he'll be around for all workouts as he continues to work towards a new extension. The Rams also plan to put Stafford on a pitch count this offseason, which means he could be a limited participant in training camp this summer. The injury risk with Stafford is very real at the tail end of his Hall of Fame career, but it's hard to ignore his career-high 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards during the regular season in 2025 in L.A.

Kenny Pickett News
Monday, March 9, 2:28 PM
Free-agent quarterback Kenny Pickett agreed to a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers on Monday that will be worth up to $7.5 million, including $4 million in guarantees, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. With Pickett now in the fold as Bryce Young's backup, the Panthers are expected to trade veteran Andy Dalton. The 27-year-old Pickett will be on his fourth different team in the last four seasons. He was the 20th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022 out of Pittsburgh, but he only lasted two years in the Steel City before being dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles. Pickett spent last year with the Las Vegas Raiders, playing in six games (two starts) while going 28-for-45 passing for 188 yards, one touchdown, and two picks. He has mostly operated as a game manager under center with limited upside in his four NFL seasons, completing only 62.4% of his passes.
