This is what we know about Matthew Stafford's retirement plans with Rams image

Matthew Stafford has put together a legendary career.

From the Detroit Lions to the Los Angeles Rams, the strong-armed QB has been one of the best the NFL has ever had.

He's 38 years old now, but he contended for MVP this season.

Safe to say he's probably got more left in the tank.

Is Matthew Stafford retiring?

Sports Illustrated's national NFL writer, Greg Bishop, wrote recently that Stafford likely isn't going anywhere.

"The handshake deal remains in place," Bishop wrote. "Each year, Stafford and the Rams will do their own assessments. Never say never, but no one in his inner circle believes Stafford will retire after this season, even if he wins another championship and could retire, like Elway, completing the rarest sendoff in pro football — out on top."

In the regular season, Stafford threw for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns.

He threw just eight interceptions and had the lowest interception percentage of his career.

Stafford has thrown 423 regular season TDs with 64,516 passing yards in 17 seasons in the league.

He already has the one Super Bowl he won with the Rams.

Apparently, he wants more.
