Matthew Stafford is planning to play football in 2025. The 37-year-old quarterback is said to “feel good” and will play next season after there had been some uncertainty about his future when the Rams’ playoff run came to an end in the NFC divisional round.

Now, the Rams have a core build of players on their rookie deals -- defensive linemen Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, outside linebackers Byron Young and Jared Verse and safety Quentin Lake -- for a unit that took a big step forward this season under new defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
