We are approaching learning about Matthew Stafford's future, and the answers may come soon this week.
The Los Angeles Rams and Stafford have messed up his contract, and while the QB wants money along top quarterbacks around the NFL, Los Angeles is hesitant to meet his demands. This allowed the Rams to allow Stafford to talk to other teams and evaluate his market value. Now there are rumours of what it looks like, and it's phenomenal.
The Rams will meet Matthew Stafford in person at today's facility regarding his future, according to sources.
Raiders and Giants discussed Stafford's two-year contract, including $900 million to $100 million guaranteed.

This decision appears to be at Stafford. Does he want to make a little less money and continue with the Rams? They could have another playoff push or two. The latter means embracing mediocrity, as neither Las Vegas nor New York are good teams.
Here we get to all this friction. Are the Raiders and Giants motives correct? Is it the best football decision for either team to trade for 37-year-old Matthew Stafford and make him one of the most paid quarterbacks in the NFL?
Without a doubt, the answer is “no.” These are two horrifying organizations that want to be talked about by building teams wisely. The Raiders will need to move to Las Vegas to tire fans before turning the corner to show improvement. in Even a little With the Raiders, you can say that there is solid talent on both sides of the ball and that the quarterback is a serious problem for them.
It's not a good justification, but at least it's mildly defensible.
The giants are in very different places. The team is heinous, and the main motivation behind Stafford's move is to save the job of GM Joe Schuhn and manager Brian Dabor. It is clear that the only goal is to extend the team time by more than .500 in 2025. What's worse, it's the same kind of questionable decision made by the same dubious brain trust that made Brian Burns one of the league's highest-paid defensive players after Daniel Jones received a massive expansion and traded Brian Burns with him. Jones was fired up and cut. Burns was OK, but nothing close to the production you want from players eating a lot of the cap.
Both the Raiders and Giants want to trick people into thinking they are “quarterback away.” They aren't. With or without Stafford, they will be slander at best, and for this reason their ridiculous interest in trade is pointless. There's a reason why bad teams stay in bad shape without changing at the top, and we can see them unfold in real time.
