Stetson Bennett is under contract with the LA Rams through 2026. That is at least how long he will remain on the Rams roster.
After all, the Rams did not take any measures to address the QB position beyond 2024. This should give you all of the information you require.
What could be so simple about it? The LA Rams selected former two-time NCAA Champion Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett with the 129th overall pick in Round 4 of the 2023 NFL Draft as their first step in a succession plan for the quarterback position after investing the 129th overall pick. GM Les Snead and HC Sean McVay have drafted Stetson Bennett as their first quarterback.
It is interesting to note that he is the only quarterback drafted by the dynamic duo credited with taking the Rams to two Super Bowls. It is not up to a vote as to whether Stetson Bennett remains on the Rams roster, nor will it be influenced by comments in forums, message boards, or social media. The decision as to the future of QB Stetson Bennett rests in his willingness to put in the work, and the coaching staff’s perception of his effectiveness as quarterback of the Rams offense.
And that is how it should be.
While some react to Bennett’s absence in 2023 with anger, it does nothing to alter the team’s view of the player, nor to enhance understanding of the situation. Would reactions be the same if he ruptured his Achilles Tendon? Would Bennett be welcomed back if he had sustained a season ending ACL injury?
As of today, the Rams QB room holds starter Matthew Stafford, veteran backup Jimmy Garoppolo, Stetson Bennett, and reserve QB Dresser Winn. But in 2025, unless things change, the quarterback room will revert back to just Stafford and Bennett.
We had offered up 5 reasons why the Rams would salvage Stetson Bennett’s career before the 2024 NFL Draft, truly expecting the Rams to address other positions in the draft and not select a quarterback from the rookie prospects this year. While some may be okay with that decision, others may be overly concerned about the Rams’ trust in an unproven quarterback.
