Matthew Stafford contract details: Rams finalize new deal with quarterback
Matthew Stafford isn't ready to close the book on his Hollywood career just yet. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback agreed to a new deal at the NFL combine that would keep him in the City of Angels, but terms were never finalized. Advertisement On Monday, those details started to come to light. Stafford inked a deal that will keep him with the Rams next season and beyond, putting an end to all the trade talk that dominated the conversation earlier in the offseason. The trade interest appeared to come mainly from the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants. During the combine, it was reported that Tom Brady, part-owner of the Raiders, was recruiting Stafford to join the silver-and-black. Stafford was reportedly seeking $50 million a year, according to NFL Network's Peter Schrager, but ultimately settled for less. The Rams have largely rebuilt their roster by hitting on their limited draft picks in the post-Super Bowl 56-winning years. They came within a few plays of knocking off the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles in the divisional round on a snowy day in Philadelphia. Advertisement Now they keep Stafford in the fold to make another run in 2025. Here's how much it'll cost the Rams to keep the quarterback in town. Matthew Stafford contract details Stafford agreed to a two-year, $84 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It represents an increase from the two-year, $58 million he had left on the previous contract. The quarterback is set to earn $44 million this season. He's already been paid $4 million and the remaining $40 million is fully guaranteed. Stafford would earn $40 million next season if he remains on the Rams' roster at the start of free agency. With the new deal, Stafford is the NFL's 15th highest-paid quarterback in terms of average annual value (AAV), according to OverTheCap.

Trump, trashing N.J. as ‘blue horror show,' again urges support for ex-assemblyman for governor
GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli and President Trump at Trump's Bedminster country club on March 21. (Courtesy of the Ciattarelli campaign) President Donald Trump urged his New Jersey supporters during a virtual rally Monday night to vote for Republican Jack Ciattarelli for governor in the June 10 GOP primary, calling Ciattarelli a 'true champion' for the Garden State. 'It's being watched actually all over the world because New Jersey's ready to pop out of that blue horror show and really get in there and vote for somebody that's going to make things happen,' Trump said. Trump's push for Ciattarelli came on the eve of the early in-person voting period for the primary, which begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. and runs through Sunday. Ciattarelli is one of five men seeking the Republican nod for governor next week. His opponents include longtime New Jersey 101.5 radio host Bill Spadea, who also competed for Trump's endorsement, and state Sen. Jon Bramnick, a Trump critic. Whoever wins the nomination on June 10 will compete against one of six Democrats in November to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat. The president said Monday that Ciattarelli has his 'complete and total endorsement.' 'Other people are going around saying I endorsed them. It's not true,' Trump said. Trump's support for Ciattarelli came even after Ciattarelli in 2015 called Trump a 'charlatan.' Appearing on Spadea's show last year, Trump said Ciattarelli 'made some very big mistakes' when Ciattarelli sought unsuccessfully to unseat Murphy in 2021. Spadea has said he was disappointed in Trump's endorsement of Ciattarelli, and has even referenced the endorsement in a recent campaign ad, telling Republican voters that 'it's OK for you to disagree with' Trump. Several polls have shown Ciattarelli with a substantial lead in the GOP primary. A May 15 Emerson College/Pix 11/The Hill poll shows Ciattarelli with 44% support compared to Spadea's 18%, with roughly a quarter of voters undecided. That poll also shows Trump has a split job approval rating in the state, with 47% approving and 47% disapproving. Trump on Monday blasted New Jersey as a sanctuary state with 'crippling regulations and rampant corruption.' Just 10 days ago, the Trump administration sued four New Jersey cities and their mayors — including two Democratic candidates for governor, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop — over their sanctuary city policies. Trump also touched on his usual rally talking points, like easing illegal immigration at the southern border, transgender issues, crime, congestion pricing, and ending the 'radical left war on suburbs.' 'New Jersey's economy will wither and die, and you'll be living in a nightmare of chaos and crime, and you sort of have that to a certain extent now. But it's going to be changed, and it's going to be changed fast with Jack,' Trump said. Ciattarelli told the president that his first executive order as governor would be ending the Immigrant Trust Directive — that's the state policy that bars law enforcement from assisting federal agents with civil immigration enforcement — and pledged that his attorney general won't sue the White House. The state's current attorney general, Matt Platkin, a Democrat, has led and joined numerous legal complaints against the Trump administration. 'I'm honored, and I will not let you down, nor will the Republicans across New Jersey,' Ciattarelli said. 'They're going to turn out in record numbers this year because we see what's going on across the state.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Countries given Wednesday deadline for their ‘best offers' to avoid tariffs: report
The Trump administration has reportedly asked other countries to present their best offer for a new trade deal by Wednesday as it races to meet its own self-imposed negotiating deadline. When Donald Trump unveiled his steep "Liberation Day" tariffs in early April, it set off deep alarm throughout the world and roiled the markets. One week later the White House was forced into a U-turn, pausing the heaviest tariffs for 90 days while it worked to secure more favorable trade deals. But now, with only five weeks to go until the deadline — and Trump himself furious over Wall Street's wisecracks about him "always chickening out" — it seems that U.S. negotiators are eager to get to yes. According to Reuters, a draft letter from the United States Trade Representative asks negotiating partners to list their best proposals in various key areas by Wednesday June 4. Specifically, it reportedly asks for any proposals about tariffs, plans to remedy non-tariff trade barriers, commitments on digital trade, and quotas to buy U.S. goods. Officials will evaluate these proposals within days, the letter says, and then offer a "possible landing zone" for a deal. It further warns negotiating partners against holding out for a court to strike down Trump's tariffs, declaring that he "intends to continue this tariff program" by whatever legal means available. A spokesperson for the Trade Representative told Reuters: "Productive negotiations with many key trading partners continue at a rapid pace. It is in all parties' interest to take stock of progress and assess any next steps." The Independent has asked the Office of the Trade Representative for comment. Trump's original slate of tariffs was both radical and seemingly arbitrary, in some cases slapping stiff taxes on tiny islands that are uninhabited by human beings and export no goods. The rationale for these duties was also murky, with Trump aides sometimes claiming they were a permanent measure to reshape the global economy and sometimes insisting they were simply a negotiating tactic. Since then, officials have made conflicting claims about how those negotiations are proceeding. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett said last month that he'd been briefed on 24 deals that were "close to being resolved", while Trump himself told TIME that he'd "made 200 deals" — even though there are only about 195 countries in the entire world. All of which puts Trump in a difficult spot. If he reimposes the same tariffs, markets could be once again plunged into chaos — including bond markets, which influence how much it costs the U.S. government itself to borrow money. Yet if he extends the deadline once again, it could vindicate a Wall Street slogan that has sorely infuriated Trump: "TACO", which stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out".
