Briefly

The Los Angeles Rams finished just 13 yards away from victory in the Super Bowl, generating speculation about their future, especially concerning quarterback Matthew Stafford. Although the Rams' management, including Les Snead and Sean McVay, has previously made bold decisions, trading Stafford now would seem imprudent given his integral role in their recent success. Stafford, a Super Bowl champion, wants to stay with a talented Rams team possibly one player away from contention. However, his salary, lower than many peers, has created tension about his value within the team's structure.
