Quibbling over contract size is nuts IMO
Stafford is happy. Stafford knows what it's like to play with a tier 3 team. Matt knows if the Rams can spread it out then he can get more rings. These Diva QBs who only think about themselves. He's getting paid more than enough to set him and his whole family up for years. He's got a net worth in excess of $80M so now with this contract his future and the future of his family is secure.
Stafford is a grounded man who understands what he wants to be happy and now the money part is achieved and he didn't have to break the bank to do it. Just proves what a teammate and leader he is.

Stafford's contract will help give the Rams at least that two-year run-it-back opportunity. He did the Rams and himself a solid. He gets paid big money yet doesn't handcuff the Rams. He wants to win more chips!

That was my hope. That Stafford would give the Rams two or three years of cheap cap hits so they can load a team around him.
So they get two years to do that. And with an owner like Kroenke if 9 is still dealing after that second year we'll see another restructure to keep it going.
I fucking love this team.

Ah yes, Robert Urich played. Dan Tanna in Vegas.
But in Spenser for Hire, he played Spenser who had a friend named Hawk played by Avery Brooks… who used to dress super sharp and would go on about his “sartorial splendor”
Don’t see that phrase every day… it’s a goodun…

I like that Stafford didn't ask for the max contract like Rodgers. You can make the max or you can flex a little to try and win championships. I think Rodgers only wants $$$$$. It's almost comical that Colin the loser Kaepernick, Garapollo and Jared Goff have as many NFC titles as Aaron Rodgers.

That's a good chart (thanks for posting).
The current 2022 cap-hit-numbers (per Spotrac), make Stafford a huge bargain over the next two seasons.
Quarterback 2022 Salary-Cap-Hits:
Patrick Mahomes ... $35.8M
Kirk Cousins ... $31.4M
Aaron Rodgers ... $28.5M
Russell Wilson ... $24M
Tom Brady ... $20.3M
Dak Prescott ... $19.7M but shoots-up to $49.1M in 2023
Josh Allen ... $16.3M but scheduled to rise to $39.8M in 2023
Matthew Stafford ... $13.5M, and scheduled to rise to just $20M in 2023

I have watched, listened and read almost a dozen media reports about Stafford's extension, including a few minutes ago on Good Morning Football when there was a piece about it with a Stafford comment from yesterday's video conference.
The next time Stafford's low salary-cap-hit ($13.5M) is mentioned, will be the first time it's mentioned; and,
THAT is what's most important to me.
Last year, Stafford and Goff (dead-#$) counted for $44.7M of the Rams' total cap ... about 24%.
Stafford will count around 7% against the Rams' 2022 cap.

Two things Rams fans are neurotic about:
1) QB's
2) Contracts
On #2, I still remember reading posts complaining about Woods first Rams contract two years into it, i.e. after it was blatantly obvious that his production vastly exceeded what he was getting paid.

I'm a Rich Eisen fan but, yet another NFL media-expert commenting on the Stafford extension but NOT recognizing and acknowledging that it has exceptionally low cap hits for each of the next two seasons. UGH!!!

But Isn’t that more of a FO contract thing than a player thing? It’s the same amount of money. Just how it’s structured by the FO - they deserve the credit for that, not the player.
