Stafford, 36, said after the Rams’ season ended that he still feels like he can play at a high level, but the possibility of retirement looms large. He’ll be 37 in February, has already won a Super Bowl and though he’s still playing well, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he chose to retire this offseason.

The Rams had contract issues to solve with Matthew Stafford all the way up to training camp last year. Coach Sean McVay aims to avoid a repeat this year.
