The Rams just wrapped up a strong season, finishing 10-7 and winning the NFC<\/a> West. They were one play away from hosting the NFC Championship and found a defensive gem in Jared Verse. But now, the front office faces major decisions.<\/p>

Cooper Kupp might be on his way out, and Matthew Stafford’s future is in question. He has two years left on his contract, but only $4 million of his $49.6 million cap hit is guaranteed. By 2026, none of his money is locked in.<\/p>

The Rams can either guarantee Stafford more money or put him on the trade block. General manager Les Snead likely isn’t thrilled about moving a quarterback who helped win a Super Bowl three years ago. But if contract talks go sideways, Stafford could be one of the biggest names on the market.<\/p>

Here are five potential teams that could make a move for the former No. 1 overall pick, who just turned 37.<\/p>

Pittsburgh Steelers could use a proven leader<\/h2>

Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation is messy. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are both in the mix, but neither is a long-term answer yet. The Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016 and have lost six straight postseason matchups, giving up at least 28 points in each. That’s the longest streak of its kind in NFL history.<\/p>

Drafting a quarterback could be an option, but moving up for Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders is risky. Stafford, if available, might be the best bet for a team that needs stability under center.<\/p>

New York Giants offer a logical fit<\/h2>

The Giants have the No. 3 overall pick, but Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen may not want to gamble their jobs on a rookie quarterback. If they aren’t sold on Ward or Sanders, Stafford becomes an intriguing alternative.<\/p>

There’s also a personal angle. ESPN reported that the Giants hired Chad Hall as an assistant quarterbacks coach. Hall happens to be Stafford’s brother-in-law. If the Rams let Stafford pick his next destination, the Giants might jump to the front of the line.<\/p>
