Sean McVay is going nowhere in Los Angeles.
He, along with fellow lauded general manager Les Snead, was given a multi-year extension on Monday, solidifying their future and commitment to a team that was a play away from playing in another Super Bowl this coming Sunday.
McVay might be in San Francisco on Thursday, near where Super LX will be played. Not because he wants to watch the Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots, but because he wants to see the quarterback he won a Super Bowl ring with possibly win the most prestigious individual award in football.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford had the best season of his 17-year career, and he’s heavily favored to win the MVP on Thursday night at the NFL Honors awards show. His biggest challenger, Drake Maye, will be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday with the Patriots.
And although the veteran gunslinger is in the best form of his career, there is still a question about whether he will return to Los Angeles with McVay and Snead next season. Following the team’s loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship, Stafford declined to comment on his future and said he would need time with his family to make that critical decision.
On Monday, following the announcement of his extension, the head coach, on the cusp of becoming the franchise’s all-time greatest, hoped to continue the ride with his favorite QB.
McVay has his “fingers crossed” that Stafford decides to stick with the Rams and have another shot at a second Lombardi Trophy.
But when asked if he might not have a starting time if he takes too long, McVay brushed off any ultimatum or running clock. He wants Stafford to take the time in the offseason to decide what he wants, but the job is his if he chooses to put on the Rams helmet one more season.
“If that’s something he wants to do.”
