Matthew Stafford drops huge retirement hint after Rams lose to the Eagles

Matthew Stafford suggested retirement is a possibility for him after the Rams' 28-22 loss to the Eagles in the divisional round on Sunday.

The quarterback, 36, was non-committal when asked about his future with the franchise.

“As for my future, it is 30 minutes after the last match, so I will take some time to think about it,” he told reporters. “But I feel like I played pretty good ball.”

Stafford was then asked if he had any 'good football' left, to which he replied in the affirmative.

“It certainly feels that way,” he said.

Stafford threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns, but LA ultimately saw their comeback attempt fall short as the visitors failed to convert a 4th-and-11 at the Eagles' 22-yard line with 31 seconds left.

This offseason, Stafford agreed to rework his deal with the Rams, renouncing his guarantees for the 2025 season and essentially agreeing to a one-year contract worth $40 million, as per NFL's Tom Pelissero Network reported at the time.

The Rams finished the regular season 10-7 after starting the season 1-4.

Stafford's top two wideouts, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, also missed six and five games, respectively, because they were sidelined with injuries.

“Proud to be associated with this group… It's been a huge effort all year to get to this point,” Stafford said after the game.

“Every time you play like that… and come up short, it makes it even harder.”

If this is Stafford's last in LA – or the NFL as a whole – he will leave an extremely strong legacy.

He was the Lions' No. 1 overall pick in 2009 and ranks 10th all-time in both passing yards and touchdowns.

And in 2022, he won his first Super Bowl with the Rams when he led them to victory over the Bengals.
