It was 16 years ago that Matthew Stafford was drafted first overall, just months after turning 21 years old. Now, he’s two weeks shy of turning 37 and was the second-oldest starting quarterback in the 2024 NFL season, trailing only the 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers.

With 16 years under his belt, and coming off a painful postseason exit at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Divisional Round, Stafford is contemplating his future not only with the Los Angeles Rams but with the National Football League as a whole.
