After multiple reports, it has been confirmed that the Los Angeles Rams are retaining quarterback Matthew Stafford, much to the dismay of the Pittsburgh Steelers who had shown interest in acquiring him. According to Ben Allbright of IHeartRadio, Stafford did not want to come to Pittsburgh, and the Steelers will now shift their focus to other options, namely Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. While the exact details of Stafford’s new deal are unknown, it is sufficient to keep him in Los Angeles despite his initial asking price of over $50 million per year.
With Stafford off the table, the Steelers are running out of quarterback options, with Fields and Wilson being the two leading candidates. Internal options are still on the table, but the team will need to offer more than just money to attract either Fields or Wilson. Fields is looking for an opportunity to prove himself, while Wilson will likely seek a team with a strong supporting cast.
Stafford’s decision to stay with the Rams marks the latest development in the ongoing quarterback carousel of the offseason. The Steelers, with their recent negotiations with both Fields and Wilson, are expected to make a move soon. As the quarterback market narrows, the pressure is on for teams like the Steelers to solidify their plans for the upcoming season.
