Matthew Stafford was “stunned” by Demi Moore losing Oscar for Best Actress

Matthew Stafford cleared a professional hurdle when he agreed to restructure his contract with the Los Angeles Rams. Two days later, he watched the Oscars and witnessed Demi Moore failing to win Best Actress despite her critically acclaimed role in The Substance.

Stafford explained how he reacted in the latest episode of his wife Kelly's podcast The Morning After (the question is asked at 26:17 in the video below):

"I mean, (I was) almost as stunned as she was. What did she like? She was like 'nice' [smirk] or something like 'yeah'."

Matthew Stafford gets candid on drawing interest from teams after trade request

In the same podcast appearance, Matthew Stafford revealed his thoughts during the time between his trade request and his decision to restructure his contract.

Once he became available to speak with, the two teams most in need of a quarterback, the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders, came to him, as per Rich Eisen and Dianna Russini.

Matthew Stafford told co-host Hank Winchester (go to 21:41):

“I was talking to Kelly the other day about this process and how it can sometimes feel like such a negative... But at the same time, I was talking to somebody and they kind of (said),... ‘You’re 37 years old, going into your 17th NFL season, and somebody still wants you on their team.’ That’s a rare occurrence and something I don’t take for granted.”

He continued:

“It’s still a humbling thing to have teams...xexcited about me being a part of their team and helping them lead the way. It’s a cool thing and hopefully we have a great season and get to figure it out again next year and continue to keep playing, we’ll see.”

The exact details of Matthew Stafford's contract restructuring will probably not be revealed until the new league year begins on March 12, but insider Peter Schrager claims that he will earn $15 million less than if he had been traded to the Giants.
