Matthew Stafford breaks silence on ‘never fun’ situation after spurning Giants for Rams reunion
NY Post
As the trade rumors swirled, Matthew Stafford’s daughters came home from school to ask him about the questions their friends had peppered them with regarding his future.
The Rams wanted him back, but at their price. The Giants and Raiders wanted him badly, but that would require uprooting the family of six.
It made for a stressful few weeks for the 37-year-old quarterback.
“Three weeks of that uncertainty is never fun, whether that’s in a job or life or whatever it is,” Stafford said on the newest episode of wife Kelly’s “The Morning After” podcast. “You gotta find things to occupy your time. I played a lot of golf, tried to work out, just things to kind of keep your mind off it cause you sit there and think about all those uncertainties all day you go crazy.”
Ultimately, the Staffords got what they wanted with the Rams reworking the Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s contract to keep him in Los Angeles.
The Giants offered Stafford a contract worth $90-$100 million, but he took less money to stay with the NFC West champions and potential Super Bowl contenders.
