Les Snead: If Matthew Stafford returns, let's make the most of the time we have with him

The Los Angeles Rams narrowly missed a trip to Super Bowl LX, losing to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, despite an MVP-level performance from quarterback Matthew Stafford in his 17th season. As Stafford's future remains uncertain, Rams General Manager Les Snead emphasized that the team will allow Stafford to decide his path forward. Snead highlighted the importance of giving Stafford time to recover and rejuvenate before making a decision about returning for an 18th season.

Acknowledging the limited time left in Stafford's career, Snead indicated that the Rams' offseason strategy would be influenced by Stafford's decision. The Rams, known for their aggressive "F— them picks" approach that led to a Super Bowl LVI victory, may re-adopt this strategy as they hold two first-round picks in the 2026 draft. Snead's comments suggest a potential push to maximize the remaining years of Stafford's career if he chooses to continue playing.
