The Los Angeles Rams are expected to pick up star quarterback Matthew Stafford’s 2023 option bonus and 2024 salary by the third day of the league year, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

The option bonus and 2024 salary will pay Stafford a combined $62 million in guaranteed money.<\/p>\n

If they decide not to pick up the option, the Rams could have designated Stafford a post-June 1 cap casualty, which would have counted him $13.5 million against their salary cap in 2023 and an additional $36 million in 2024.<\/p>\n
