Sad News: Goodbye So Soon” Matthew Stafford Has Just Retired As Age Of 46yeas So Soon…
The Los Angeles Rams had a great run as they were able to capture an NFC Wild Card spot and lost on Sunday night to the Detroit Lions. However, with another season concluded, the question pops up about if certain players are going to be returning to the team for the 2024 season or not. One player who we needed to monitor was quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The veteran quarterback was asked during his post-game press conference and stated how his plan was to return in 2024 but his wife took it a step further.
Matthew Stafford had a very solid game in the NFC Wild Card Round against his former team in the Detroit Lions as he finished 25-of-36 (69.4 completion percentage) for a season-high 367 yards with a pair of passing touchdowns. Throughout the regular season, he had a 24:11 touchdown-to-interception ratio while being sixth in the league with a 63.6 QBR.
Matthew Stafford is going to be entering the first year of major money on this four-year, $160 million contract as in 2024 he is scheduled to make $31 million as a base salary. With one massive player already saying he is going to return, it will be interesting to see if we hear about any other player’s future in the coming days.
Can Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams compete for the NFC West next season?
This is going to be something that we have a lot of time to discuss but the Rams are certainly in a position to compete with the rest of the division to get the NFC West crown. The team has a good amount of picks and the first time since selecting quarterback Jared Goff, they have a first-round pick.
With the emergence of wide receiver Puka Nacua and having solid players on both sides of the football, they can be a threat to do well. The Rams have also shown the ability to find players later in the draft and attracting free agents to go to Los Angeles is not as difficult as you’d think. With the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers in the division, it will be difficult but there is definitely the chance to win games and make the postseason once again.
Check Out Los Angeles Rams Coach’s $14M Super Bowl-Sized Los Angeles Mansion
Sean McVay can have multiple Super Bowl parties at his home. When the Los Angeles Rams head coach led the team to a Super Bowl win during the 2021 season, he purchased a $14 million Super Bowl-sized mansion in the Hidden Hills of Los Angeles. The home is 9,000 square feet, and neighbors are Sylvester Stallone, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and the Kardashians (as of 2022).
McVay has been the head coach of the Rams since 2017. In his seven seasons with the Rams, McVay has led the team to three NFC West titles, two NFC Championships and one Super Bowl win. In 2023, McVay led the Rams to a 10-7 record, but the team lost to the Detroit Lions in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Before joining the Rams, McVay was an offensive coordinator at Washington from 2014 to 2016. He began his NFL coaching career in 2010 as an offensive assistant in Washington and was promoted to tight ends coach in 2011. McVay holds the record for being the youngest head coach in NFL history (30) and the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl (36).
As we can see, the front view of the home is breathtaking. It’s clear that McVay knew what he was doing when purchasing the home as it seems to have enough room for him, his friends and his family if he decides to host events and parties.
Who would want to leave this room? Along with the fireplace and the outside view, the living room is arguably the best place in the home. McVay can relax and re-watch his team win the Super Bowl in this very spacious part of the mansion.
Or McVay can re-watch the Super Bowl in this theatre room since it looks like a movie theatre. It’s not clear what type of movies McVay watches, but he can host his share of movie nights as the room as everything he needs to have an enjoyable experience.
This is one of the six bedrooms in the house. Along with the large TV mounted to the wall and the fireplace, this bedroom has a little patio to see the Los Angeles skyline. This is another place in the home that makes it hard to leave.
This large kitchen has a lot of storage hidden by a seamless wall of cabinets and opens into a large family room. This is also another place in the home where there’s a view of Los Angeles in the background. Not a bad way to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
