Rams finalize Ty Simpson's $25.4 million contract ahead of camp

The Los Angeles Rams reached a four-year, fully guaranteed contract agreement with rookie quarterback Ty Simpson worth $25.4 million as training camp begins. Simpson, drafted 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, was the last unsigned first-round pick. He will compete with Stetson Bennett for the backup quarterback position behind Matthew Stafford, who remains entrenched as the starter after a strong previous season. This agreement alleviates earlier concerns about Simpson missing valuable practice time during camp. The Rams expect Simpson to rapidly acclimate to Sean McVay's offense to potentially succeed Stafford in the future.
