Matthew Stafford’s decision to return as the Rams’ quarterback next season alleviates some pressure but doesn’t eliminate the need for a future replacement. As the Rams aim to close the gap on the Seahawks, they must address key roster needs, including cornerback and offensive line depth. With two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, they have an opportunity to select a potential heir apparent, such as Alabama’s Ty Simpson or Penn State’s Drew Allar. Additionally, the Rams may explore veteran free agency or trades for quarterbacks like Malik Willis or Anthony Richardson to ensure a smooth transition post-Stafford.
