While he\u2019s now 38 years old, he\u2019s also coming off his first MVP season. He doesn\u2019t appear ready to slow down or retire any time soon, even if he\u2019s one of the NFL\u2019s oldest players. <\/p>\n<p>Still, Sean McVay understands the importance of having a strong depth chart at the QB position. If Stafford misses time, the Rams would be suffering a big absence, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/tag\/jimmy-garoppolo\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2311\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jimmy Garoppolo<\/a>, their backup since 2024, is a free agent. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, coach McVay addressed his QB room, which for now consists only of Stafford and 2023 fourth-round pick <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/tag\/stetson-bennett\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"32404\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stetson Bennett<\/a>. When asked what the plans are, McVay admitted that talk of his past connections with free agent QB <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/tag\/kirk-cousins\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"560\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kirk Cousins<\/a> are valid, and that he\u2019d \u201clove\u201d to reunite with him in L.A. Yet, McVay would also be open to re-signing Garoppolo too. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople make some of the connections with Kirk,\u201d . \u201cIf it doesn\u2019t work out with Jimmy, that\u2019s definitely something that \u2014 Kirk is as influential as anybody in helping me get to L.A. in the first place. I know he\u2019s got some other options and some other suitors, but Jimmy and Kirk are guys that I\u2019d love to have back with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McVay and Cousins overlapped for five seasons with the Commanders from 2012 to 2016, which included Cousins\u2019 first Pro Bowl season in 2015. Yet, now he\u2019s looking for another place to play, and the Rams need a high-level backup who can get the job done. In the end, the Rams and Cousins may be a perfect fit, especially considering he\u2019d have a much shorter learning curve when it comes to mastering an offense he already knows most of the verbiage for. <\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/nfl\/2026-nfl-mock-draft-end-of-march-edition\" type=\"post\" id=\"1408063\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 NFL Mock Draft: End of March Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img alt=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774888943_368_cdc369fe6a9c435ab1a9344f358409a43c884a12b775d8a8492a08641e9e201e.jpeg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-70 photo\" height=\"70\" width=\"70\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tDedicated  NFL  copywriter\/editor.
