Clay Matthews has found a new NFL team. On Monday night, the Los Angeles Rams announced they have agreed to terms with Matthews who has been with the Green Bay Packers since 2009. The six-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker confirmed the news he was signing with the Rams on Twitter.

According to ESPN, Matthews signed a two-year contract that could be worth up to $16.75 million.

“I’ve got two kids, a third on the way,” Matthews told Packer Report before the Week 16 game at the Jets. “Are we staying out here or are we moving back? There’s a lot of moving pieces right now. I’m building a house back in California. So, taking it one day and one week at a time. So, no, I haven’t really thought about it. Of course, you think about it but I don’t stress about it.”

One member of the Rams coaching staff has always had his eye on Matthews.

"[Defensive coordinator] Wade Phillips is a big fan of Clay Matthews and really always has been," Ian Rapoport said in a recent video hit for the NFL Network. "Clay Matthews lives in the L.A. area. A lot of people want to be on the west coast. The Rams have become a potential landing spot for some of these veterans to play however many more years they want to play and have a chance."

The Rapoport video hit came on the heels of Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reporting Matthews hasn't signed with a team yet at the time because his wife just had a baby. So he has been talking to teams while taking care of his family.

"I am told he does have 'significant interest,'" Garafolo said during a video hit on the NFL Network. "At this point in his career, does he want to play close to home in Californa? Does he want to go to a place that has a chance to win the Super Bowl? The answer to these questions is yes, and obviously, he wants some significant financial compensation as well."

Matthews only posted 3.5 sacks in 2018 and has not had a double-digit sack season since 2014. He had a Pro Football Focus grade of 65.3 which is ranked 59th for all edge defenders. In 2017, Matthews led the Packers in sacks with 7.5 and 21 quarterback hits. In 2016, Matthews only had five sacks with nine QB hits as he only played in 12 games.

Based on the moves the Packers made earlier this week, it looks like the Packers will move on from Matthews. Green Bay signed two free-agent edge rushers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith. The Packers also signed safety Adrian Amos and offensive lineman Billy Turner.

Once the Packers made the signings of their new players official, he held a press conference and he was asked about the future of Matthews.

“I think Clay’s a great player and he can play for any team in this league,” Gutekunst said. “So, if that comes, he will help somebody if it’s not us.”

So Gutekunst somewhat hinted Matthews isn't returning, which wouldn't be a surprise considering his lack of production the last couple of seasons. But now that the second wave of free agency is starting, Matthews had become one of the more attractive names on the market.
