Sean McVay insists he never seriously thought his partnership with Matthew Stafford would come to an end this month after four seasons together with the Los Angeles Rams.

Matthew Stafford is staying with the Rams after a long contract negotiation and Sean McVay is a massive reason why.

Sean McVay has been having sweet dreams ever since the Rams re-upped with a certain Super Bowl-winning quarterback last week.

After allowing Matthew Stafford to talk to other teams, the Rams reached a new deal with Stafford to keep him in 2025.

"I think it's really kind of been a year-to-year thing. … As long as he wants to play," McVay said of being able to keep Stafford.

Matthew Stafford is getting a raise with his new Los Angeles Rams deal, but he reportedly could have gotten more from other interested teams. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported Monday that "the parameters agreed to will bring Stafford a very significant raise for 2025.

Matthew Stafford required only three weeks to accomplish what the 37-year-old quarterback and the Los Angeles Rams needed seven months to accomplish last offseason: agreeing to a new contract.

The Rams coach always thought that his star quarterback would stay with the team. Receiver Cooper Kupp, though is still on the trading block.
