Matthew Stafford won the LA Rams a Super Bowl, and that, of course, resulted in a bigger contract.
Last season was a rough one for Stafford and the Rams. But the deal is still in place.
Because of the contract, which was a four-year, $160 million extension signed on March 19, 2022, a big part of his signing bonus was deferred.
According to A nice Friday for Rams QB Matthew Stafford: he is due a $30M deferred signing bonus payment by today as part of the extension he signed last offseason.
