The Los Angeles Rams are set at the quarterback position with Matthew Stafford...but only for 2026.
With the defending MVP coming back in 2026 after reportedly contemplating retirement, we imagine there won't be too many seasons left for Stafford in the NFL, so the Rams have to be looking at his replacement.
The draft this season isn't where the Rams will be looking; instead, free agency might be a place where a young quarterback could develop behind Stafford and take over in 2027.
And once again, we have Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, who has been told he can seek a move elsewhere, as a possible Stafford replacement.
This time, by NFL.com's Marc Ross.
"Richardson's situation is a Catch-22," Ross wrote. "He has so little playing experience that he needs to get on the field in order to develop, yet he still is not ready to play at a consistent enough level to produce wins as a starter. Thus, the Rams would be an ideal landing spot. He would learn behind reigning MVP Matthew Stafford in the Sean McVay offense, and the only other QB on the current roster is Stetson Bennett , who was selected 124 spots behind Richardson in the 2023 draft."

Is Richardson the right move for Rams?
Potentially. We know the ceiling is high, but Richardson has hardly played during his time in the league, and when he did, he was erratic to say the least.
But getting the chance to learn from Stafford, in a Sean McVay system, that is a great chance that can't be passed up.
Yes, Stetson Bennett is on the roster, but Richardson could come in and be Stafford's backup straight away. Providing he proves he's worthy.
It is an interesting move, with Richardson's time in Indianapolis over, he could revitalize his career in L.A., and potentially take over from Stafford when he retires.
