Quarterback Matthew Stafford agreed to a fouryear contract extension through 2026 with the Rams after winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the team.

Stafford is cashing in on his spectacular debut season with the Rams after 12 seasons with the Lions, who traded the 2009 No. 1 overall pick to the Rams a year ago. Stafford would be 38 years old in the final season of the extension.

Stafford, 34, is headed into the final year of his previous five-year, $135 million deal signed with the Lions, but he said he had no interest in going anywhere.
