Rams Plan for Future While Retaining Matthew Stafford

Following the Rams' selection of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13, the team has identified their heir apparent to Matthew Stafford. While the move signals a shift in long-term strategy, the organization believes there is a 'real chance' Stafford continues to play beyond the 2026 season. The team also selected Missouri OL Keagen Trost in the third round to continue building around their veteran signal-caller.
