When you think about the quarterbacks that have turned their careers around, Matthew Stafford is one such name that always pops up. Why wouldn’t it be? I mean, the guy remained a part of the struggling Detroit Lions team for a decade, but the 36-year-old veteran found his true calling with the Rams.

Now, the Rams are all set to play the Vikings tomorrow in the wild-card round. With that, Stafford’s gotta enter the gridiron with a chip on his shoulder, eager to prove once again why he’s the veteran of the game. But besides his game-winning performances, his financial achievements are nothing short of impressive. And Stafford, being one of the highest-paid players in the league is a solid testament to it. So, how much is he actually raking this year?

What is Matthew Stafford’s net worth and salary?

Alright, let’s talk numbers, big money numbers. Because Stafford’s net worth isn’t just impressive, it’s jaw-dropping. As of 2025, the man’s net worth is estimated at a cool $150 million. Pretty cool, huh? The QB has raked over $364 million from his NFL contracts only. In fact, that puts the veteran as the second-highest career earning in NFL history, just behind Aaron Rodgers and ahead of legends like Tom Brady.

Of course, Stafford’s bank account isn’t just from football contracts. The QB has made some smart investments and has been a magnet in terms of endorsement deals for years. Major brands like Nike, PepsiCo, Ford Motors, Fanatics, and Panini are lined up to partner with him. Talking about smart investments? Here this: Matthew Stafford also has a piece of ownership with the Angel City FC, a women’s soccer team in Los Angeles. His endorsements and investment deals make him $2 million annually, which is just the tip of the iceberg.

Let’s talk about the big payday that came with Stafford’s move to the Rams. When the veteran QB traded his Detroit blues for sunny Los Angeles skies, he scored a $160 million contract. In 2025, Stafford’s pocketing a cool $23 million base salary plus an extra $4 million roster bonus—all part of a $40 million annual haul. No wonder Stafford is able to afford a luxurious mansion worth $10.5 million.

Not bad, right? Fun fact: That’s the same paycheck as Daniel Jones. But let’s be real—Stafford’s resume hits a little differently. Why so? Well, Stafford led the Lions for over a decade and it was not actually a championship-caliber roster. But still, the QB was the heart of the team and now he’s with the Rams. Enter his debut season with the Los Angeles team, and voilà, the first Super Bowl ring for him and the Rams in over two decades. So the huge contract wasn’t a surprise.

How long is the Rams QB’s contract?

Let’s talk about the contract that made it all possible. Of course, we can’t forget his 2017 extension with the Lions, a five-year deal worth $135 million that made him the highest-earning QB at the time. Fast forward, and Stafford is traded to the Rams, where a Super Bowl win in 2022 led to a four-year mega-extension worth $160 million.

Yep, you read that right. The 36-year-old QB is set to play out the 2025 season as part of that contract. He got a massive $60 million signing bonus, with $130 million guaranteed. That gives him an average annual salary of $40 million until 2026 when his current deal wraps up.

Pretty big numbers, huh? Well, it’s a testament to his on-field performance, whether it’s leadership or racking up some yards and touchdowns. Matthew’s current season might not have broken records, but he’s still putting up solid numbers. He’s thrown over 3,700 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions this year—not too shabby, right?

Now, with the postseason kicking off, the Rams are facing the Vikings tomorrow. This is going to be a tough one. The Vikings’ defense under Brian Flores has been sneaky good, and they’ll definitely try to rattle Stafford. But let’s be real—Stafford’s seen it all, and he knows how to deal with pressure. If he can find his rhythm early, it might be a long night for Minnesota.

Rams fans are definitely hoping for another magical run. It’s playoff time, baby! Let’s see if Stafford’s still got a little more magic left in that arm.
