Despite entering this season as one of the early favorites to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft, Arch Manning could end up staying at Texas beyond the 2025 campaign.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford, 37, is entering a two-year, $84M contract. Even if he returns next season, a source told Robinson the team could still target Manning as a successor. L.A. has two first-round picks in 2026. Perhaps the team would consider trading one of those selections to move up and take the Texas passer if he were available.

One of the NFL's more consistent teams reportedly has significant interest in Texas Longhorns star Arch Manning.
