Rams' Updated Salary Cap After Matthew Stafford's Reported Contract Extension

After leading the Los Angeles Rams to victory in Super Bowl LVI last season, quarterback Matthew Stafford has reportedly been rewarded with a contract extension that should allow him to finish his career in L.A.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Stafford received a four-year extension worth $160 million and $135 million guaranteed. Schefter added that the new deal will keep Stafford in Los Angeles for the next five years at $183 million.

There are indications that the extension includes a restructured contract. Per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Stafford's cap hit for the 2022 season has been lowered from the $23 million that he was originally set to earn.
