In the high-stakes pursuit of Los Angeles Rams quarterback **Matthew Stafford**, the **Las Vegas Raiders** initially seemed to have the upper hand over the **New York Giants** as of Thursday. However, the situation remains highly fluid, with the Giants making significant progress by Friday morning.
According to **Art Stapleton** of *USA TODAY*, the Giants have closed the gap and are now close to matching the Raiders in terms of contract parameters. Despite this development, a return to the Rams still appears to be the most likely outcome for Stafford.
**Dianna Russini** of ESPN reports that both the Giants and Raiders have presented Stafford with two-year deals worth between **$90-$100 million guaranteed**. With these offers on the table, Stafford is set to meet with the Rams on Friday to discuss his future, and a final decision is expected soon.
While Stafford and his representatives may have used the Giants and Raiders as leverage in negotiations, both teams remain viable options if the Rams fail to meet his demands. For the Giants, Stafford has been their **top offseason priority**, and failing to secure him would force the team to pivot and explore other options to address their quarterback needs.
As the drama unfolds, all eyes are on Stafford’s next move, which could reshape the landscape of the NFL offseason.
