Super Bowl winner Matthew Stafford seems to want to return to the negotiating table. The NFL Network recently reported the 36-year-old quarterback was not happy with the amount of guaranteed money remaining on his contract with the Los Angeles Rams.

He is expected to collect an estimated $31 million in guarantees for the upcoming 2024 season, according to Overthecap.com. 

Rams coach Sean McVay acknowledged the report but stopped short of providing any substantive details on a possible timetable for potentially adjusting Stafford's contract. 

"I've had good dialogue with Matthew," McVay told reporters Friday. "We'll keep those things in house, but he's been working with our guys, and we'll keep those things in house."

McVay and Rams general manager Les Snead were also asked if they believed the franchise would be able " to find a solution for the contract issue," but they danced around the question.

"We're definitely jacked to have Matthew as our QB," Snead said.
