Kelly Stafford bought on the mic and stated she had some issues to air out as commerce rumors swirl about her husband, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Through the newest installment of her “Morning After” podcast, Kelly defined that its been upsetting to see hypothesis about Stafford’s future, equivalent to headlines about his potential retirement — and that she desires him to get the respect he deserves as a veteran quarterback within the league.
“I love the city of LA… and I love the life that we have built here,” Kelly stated. “With that being said, I love an adventure. I am all for it. Right now, if the Rams decided that they wanted to trade him or Matthew decided he didn’t want to play for the Rams, I am good. Move my family, yeah that might be tough — first month hard — after, it turns out, I like my kids to be resilient. Moving them is not easy … but I have four girls who have four built-in best friends, so it ain’t that difficult.”
Married since 2015, the couple has 4 daughters, 7-year-old twins Sawyer and Chandler, 6-year-old Hunter and 4-year-old Tyler.
“I value being respected and wanted over convenience. So, it would be very convenient to say… but if someone doesn’t feel valued then, let’s go an adventure. Turns out if I have my husband and my kids, I’m good, I don’t need anything else.”
“Can we need to keep in LA? Yeah, however lots has to occur. My husband desires to win. He’s not making an attempt to place a staff in a nasty scenario. Should you’re catching my drift, you’re catching my drift. He desires to win, he’s on the top of his profession. There must be a slight feeling of being worth or revered.
“… I feel like I have to be the dog in this situation. I want the respect for him that he deserves. … I was just going to slide past it but it has been upsetting me.”
Kelly went on to clarify that she doesn’t perceive why the Rams are searching for a commerce for veteran extensive receiver Cooper Kupp — who gained a Tremendous Bowl alongside Stafford with the Rams within the 2021 season and was named MVP of the sport.
Kupp, 31, introduced Monday that the staff knowledgeable him they have been searching for a commerce instantly, and that he didn’t agree with the choice.
Kelly didn’t appear to agree both.
“I will say, the trading away of Cooper, I am a little confused because we were one play away from the NFC Championship and I think if we go, we win,” she stated. “Then you definitely’re within the Tremendous Bowl and I believe we’ve got an opportunity in opposition to Kansas Metropolis.
“Now within the offseason, you’re speaking about buying and selling your veteran extensive receiver who has been a pillar on this place for eight years since he bought drafted and does excess of folks know.
“… And there’s now talk about trading your quarterback away. I don’t get it. It confuses me, but again, I am up for an adventure. Why not? Who’s to say I am not going to fall in love with another city?… We want to be here, but I am not scared of going elsewhere and I don’t think he is, either.”
Stafford’s seventh season with the Rams led to a 28-22 loss to the Eagles within the divisional spherical on Jan. 19 in Philadelphia.
The Tremendous Bowl champ knowledgeable the staff that he desires to play subsequent season, however his future in Los Angeles reportedly stays unsure.
“I just want to keep playing good football,” Stafford advised Forbes in an interview printed Wednesday. “I love competing. Obviously getting a chance to make runs in the playoffs, competing for Lombardi trophies is what it’s all about. Once you get a taste of one, you want more of them. I love playing this game.”
Stafford completed the season throwing 20 touchdowns in opposition to eight interceptions and a stable 93.7 passer ranking.
