When you’re under the gun, it’s time to pull the trigger and the Rams had salary guarantees trigger on seven contracts over the weekend, including Matthew Stafford.
* Matthew Stafford, $40 million 2026 salary guaranteed
* AJ Jackson, $18.6 million salary guaranteed
* Nathan Landman, $4.45 million roster bonus
* Davante Adams, $6 million roster bonus
* Poona Ford, $3.85 million roster bonus
* Coleman Shelton, $3 million roster bonus
* Colby Parkinson, $1.5 million roster bonus

Stafford let it be known last month that he fully intended to return to the team in 2026 and this $40 million guarantee only sets it in stone.
Adams did get a roster bonus and that makes it clear that L.A. doesn’t want to outright release him, [but it could also make him more attractive as a trade asset](/los-angeles-rams-rumors/136432/davante-adams-trade-rumors-rams-aj-brown).
Even though Parkinson only got $1.5 million, it further cements how far the tight end has come since a hugely disappointing first season with the Rams in 2024. Parkinson could be the team’s number one tight end next season.
And A.J. Jackson has come a long way since going undrafted as he’s now one of the richest left tackles in the league.
