Amid various rumors linking him to other teams, it was clear where his future lay, according to his mother, Margaret Stafford. She confidently predicted that her son would stay with the Rams, despite speculation about his potential retirement.
This prediction remained largely unnoticed until Kelly Stafford, Matthew”s wife, highlighted it on social media recently. On Tuesday, she shared a comment from her mother-in-law beneath an Instagram reel from March, which humorously addressed Matthew”s return amidst fan theories connecting him to teams like the 49ers, Seahawks, and Cardinals.
Margaret”s amusing remark was captured in Kelly”s Instagram story, where she responded to her mother-in-law”s comment. In May, the Rams and Matthew Stafford finalized a two-year contract valued at $84 million, with an average annual salary of $42 million, as reported by Spotrac.
While the future of Stafford”s NFL career beyond this current contract remains uncertain, Kelly has voiced her strong support regarding the notion of her husband”s retirement. Although the exact timing for Matthew”s retirement is still unclear, Kelly has already contemplated her career path following his departure from the league.
During an episode of her podcast, “The Morning After,” Kelly disclosed that the rumors surrounding Matthew”s potential trade affected not only her but also their four daughters. She mentioned that the children faced bullying at school due to the speculation regarding their father”s future with the Rams.
