If the Rams decide to keep Xavier Smith as the punt returner and WR #5, it won’t be difficult. As an Exclusive Rights Free Agent, for all intents and purposes, he’s tied to the Rams unless they want to dismiss him. Smith hasn’t been bad in L.A., actually a decent value, but he’s never really […]
Last week, I wrote about 5 Los Angeles Rams players that exceeded expectations in 2025. But just as every story as “feel good” moments, there is also typically hardship and misfortune.

49ers set to hire Raheem Morris as DC, reuniting him with Kyle Shanahan (paywall)“On the heels of Robert Saleh, a disciple to a wide 9 and 4-3 defensive scheme, Morris does not present the most seamless transition.
