It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams went all-in for the 2021 NFL Season.
Not only did they make a massive trade for Matthew Stafford, but the Rams put together countless other moves, hoping it would pay off with a Super Bowl victory.
Luckily for them, it did, giving Stafford the ring he had been seeking for his entire career.
The Rams might have won the Super Bowl two years ago, but going all-in for that one year might have hurt them for the foreseeable future.
Stafford recently adjusted his contract and will get more additional guaranteed money.

Some fans and analysts view this as a frustrating time for players, but it appears that Stafford doesn’t see it that way.
As he mentioned in an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, “I wanted to be here.”

Stafford has made it abundantly clear that, despite some hiccups and bumps in the road, the Rams are the team he wants to play for.
Sean McVay has helped build a winning culture in their building, and with the right tools and players at his disposal, there’s no telling what a veteran like Stafford will be able to accomplish.
The Rams do find themselves in a difficult NFC West division led by the San Francisco 49ers, but if Stafford’s comments are any indication, they’re more than up to the challenge.
