The future is a little blurry for Matthew Stafford after the Rams were eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday.
But the 36-year-old midfielder didn't seem too eager to discuss what he might do next season when he spoke with reporters after the 28-22 loss in Philadelphia.
“As far as my future goes, 30 minutes after the last game, I'm going to take some time to think about it,” Stafford said. “But I feel like I'm playing pretty good ball.”
Stafford, the first overall pick in 2009, has two years remaining on his contract, but whether he will stay in Los Angeles is a bit of a mystery.
When reporters asked him if he still felt there was some gas in the tank, he replied: “It definitely feels like it.”
Rams coach Sean McVay didn't show any interest in discussing the topic either when it came up after the loss to the Eagles.
“I'm not really interested in talking about anything related to next year,” he said. “Right now, I just appreciate this team.”
Stafford adjusted his communication before the opening of training camp last summer, and it was reported that the two sides are expected to play out the 2024 season and re-evaluate after that.
The Rams quarterback threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns in the NFC Divisional Round matchup with the Eagles and completed 340 passes for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns during the regular season.
“I'm proud to be associated with this group, the coaching staff, the front office, the player group, the coaching staff, the equipment guys, everyone,” Stafford said. “It's been a hell of an effort this year to get to this point. Anytime you play like that and you get into the playoffs and get wins and keep going. Anytime you fall short it gets harder. That's tough. Very proud to be associated with this group.”
