UPDATE: Steelers Get Disappointing Matthew Stafford News With Trade Update.THANHDUNG

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the offseason with some significant quarterback questions. They embarked on the Russell Wilson experiment this past season, but the seemingly one-year trial one left them with no answers.

Now, they continue navigating the NFL landscape, trying to find the right fit that they have just not resolved since Ben Roethlisberger retired.

The latest potential solution surfaced over the last few weeks when trouble brewed out on the West Coast. Matthew Stafford suddenly became a possible option for teams needing a quarterback after he and his camp expressed frustrations with the Los Angeles Rams.

Los Angeles’ announcement that they would be looking to trade Cooper Kupp came as a shock to many, including Stafford who already conveyed his interest in a restructured contract.

Friday, Stafford got his wish. According to NFL media’s Ian Rapoport, the Rams and Stafford have agreed to terms on a restructured deal that will keep him in Los Angeles.

The Rams had given Stafford permission to talk to other teams about a trade, but the quarterback has decided to return to his team after speaking with the New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Per Jordan Schultz, both the Giants and the Raiders made aggressive pursuits for the veteran quarterback. Those offers apparently included multi-year deals and significant guarantees.

While there were some pipe dreams about a move for Stafford, it seems the Steelers never really had real ground had he actually found a new destination.

Nonetheless, this decision marks the first quarterback domino to fall, meaning the Steelers and other teams in need at the position can continue to look elsewhere.

Pittsburgh may have not had any footing in the Stafford sweepstakes, but this makes for a disappointing reality as they trek forward in their search.
