Matthew Stafford is still the Los Angeles Rams starting quarterback, but give his age, it could be time to start planning for his eventual exit.
Los Angeles Rams starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off of one of the best seasons of his career.
That said, he is also going to be 36 years old by the time the Rams kick off the 2024 season next September.
So while Stafford will be back under center for the team next season, the future of the position after he eventually decides to retire – whether that be in 2025 or well beyond – is still a primary area of concern for the franchise moving forward.
And while some may believe the Rams should target their future QB in the NFL Draft this spring, Bleacher Report has another idea.
Hypothetical Trade We’d Love to See: 2024 fifth-round pick for QB Trey Lance
Stafford showed that he can still play at a top level in 2023, and he’ll return for 2024. However, he’ll also turn 36 next month. It’s always good to have a succession plan in place, and Lance would be an intriguing one
The 23-year-old was replaced by Brock Purdy in San Francisco and hasn’t seen the field in Dallas. He still possesses an intriguing skill set, though, and could be a fun developmental project in McVay’s spacing-based offense.
