With an average annual salary of $42 million per year on his revised contract, Matthew Stafford isn’t one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks. That doesn’t mean he isn’t one of the best in the league, though.
He far outperforms his 15th-ranked salary among quarterbacks, consistently proving during his first four years with the Rams that he’s a top-tier passer. He almost seems to be getting better with age and heading into the 2025 season where he’ll be 37 years old, Stafford is seen as a premier signal caller.
Pro Football Focus ranked every projected starting quarterback for the upcoming season and Stafford was slotted just outside the top five.
