Matthew Stafford got a raise from the Rams this offseason, but he still could've made a lot more if he left LA

Both the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants were willing to offer Stafford more than $100 million over the next two seasons, according to Breer. Stafford instead agreed to a two-year, $84 million deal in order to remain with head coach Sean McVay and the Rams.

Matthew Stafford essentially used the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants for leverage before signing a discount deal with the Los Angeles Rams.
