NFL Star Matthew Stafford Says Trade Rumors Were “Tough” on His Family

But now, Matthew’s proven his loyalty lies with the Rams. In fact, he reflected on his family’s move to California after his 11 years with the Detroit Lions, detailing what he was looking for beyond just life in a new locker room.“

I can’t tell you how much time I spent on Zillow looking at houses,” the NFL star continued. “You’re just sitting there like, ‘Man, where am I going to be? Where are the kids gonna go to school?’ [This recent time] was a little bit of a similar situation. But in the end, I know [the Rams] wanted me back and I wanted to be back—we just had to figure that out and we did.” 

Matthew then gushed over his decision, saying, “I’m sure as hell happy that I’m gonna be here for at least another year and hopefully some after that.”
