Kelly Stafford said Thursday she was relieved after the Los Angeles Rams agreed to a restructured deal with Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford last week, but for Kelly, it wasn't always a smooth voyage in Stafford's home.
On the latest episode of her podcast, The Morning After, Kelly discusses his new contract with her husband. Regarding his new contract, he didn't extend his time with the Rams beyond his former extension, but he significantly increased his salary in his last two seasons.

“Holy s —I'm so happy that we are here,” she said Thursday.
“He's very good at distinguishing everything,” Kelly said of her husband. “On the other hand, when I say you think about uncertainty all the time you go crazy, I did an f – I've become so crazy.”
Following the end of the 2024 season, speculation began to build around Stafford's future with the Rams. The first report showed that the team was hesitant to renegotiate the four-year, $160 million contract extension that it signed in 2022.

However, last Friday, the team announced that both sides had agreed to a restructured deal. Details of the deal have not been revealed yet, but coach Sean McVay made it clear that the deal did not add an extra year to the contract.
“I praise him for that,” Kelly said of McVay's transparency with Stafford. “I just wanted to make sure he was good for everyone and I was grateful for it.”
“I know all you want to do is play for (McVay). I think the uncertainty has killed me in many ways, but at the end of the day, what I want is best for you.”

During the contract negotiations, the New York giant was floating as a potential trading partner.
