Aaron Donald can earn $10 million if Rams win the Super Bowl

The Los Angeles Rams brought back Aaron Donald on a one-year contract worth up to $30 million, and the initial estimate for his 2026 cap hit came in at $10 million with the potential to rise with incentives. However, the officially released cap numbers are much more tenable for 2026, while adding a significant number […]

Is there chance Aaron Donald plays beyond 2026?

The most likely answer is no. Aaron Donald is back with the Los Angeles Rams for the 2026 season, but everything about his return points toward this being a one-year comeback rather than the beginning of another multi-year chapter. Donald is 35 years old, has not played since the 2023 season and already walked away […]

Myles Garrett earns No. 1 ranking in NFL Top 100 players of 2026

Myles Garrett has found his place among the very best players in the NFL, with the Los Angeles Rams defensive star coming in at No. 1 overall on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 with the announcement today that Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills is the No. 2 overall player. Garrett set the […]

Rams player endorses Kroenke as good owner to Mike Trout

Rams owner Stan Kroenke has added the L.A. Angels to his roster of sports franchises that he owns, and baseball superstar Mike Trout reached out to a football player to see what this new owner is all about. We don’t know who that player is, but we do know he had “good things” to say […]

What happened to past DPOY winners who changed teams?

This offseason, Los Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett became the third player to win Defensive Player of the Year and play the next season with a new team. Deion Sanders and Dana Stubblefield were the other two, but both moved as free agents, rather than via trade like Garrett, according to ESPN. Garrett is coming […]

Ty Simpson preseason film breakdown

Ty Simpson was arguably the NFL’s biggest star of the preseason because he’s a quarterback, he’s a first-round pick, he’s a rookie, and he didn’t get as many bad results as Fernando Mendoza. In fact, Simpson’s biggest negatives on the box score were merely the incompletions, of which there were relatively few. The film will […]

Rams buy all-in, Rams owner buys Angels

Owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Stan Kroenke, is now the owner of MLB’s Los Angeles Angels, and the announcement of the purchase was made just about one week before the Rams kickoff their 2026 season against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. A season where the Rams are heavily expected to make a run […]

Rams add new player to practice squad

The Los Angeles Rams assembled their practice squad on Monday and immediately made a change to it on Tuesday, signing linebacker Jamie Sheriff. Undrafted in 2024, Sheriff has yet to make an active NFL roster out of camp, but is hoping that the Rams will be his sweet spot after years of trying. Sheriff went […]

3 Rams who could crack ESPN’s 2027 top 100 rankings

The Los Angeles Rams saw four players — Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua, Matthew Stafford and Trent McDuffie — make ESPN’s predictions for the top 100 players in 2026. With the Rams stockpiled with talent at nearly every position, who else could join them in next year’s rankings? Stafford, Nacua and Garrett were included in the […]

Aaron Donald returns to Rams (salary cap)

Aaron Donald has returned to the Los Angeles Rams … balance sheet. The un-retired defensive tackle is now an official member of the 2026 active player salary cap and Overthecap.com has the numbers to explain how much Donald is going to cost the Rams this season. Donald’s addition, with no corresponding moves yet, leaves L.A. […]

Matthew Stafford ranked No. 4 on NFL Top 100 players of 2026

Matthew Stafford has officially found his place on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026, with the Los Angeles Rams quarterback coming in at No. 4 overall. While Stafford’s exact ranking is the headline, his placement is also notable when compared to where he appeared on last year’s list. Stafford was ranked No. 59 overall […]

Rams were surprised by Aaron Donald’s return

The Los Angeles Rams and their staff made moves for Trent McDuffie, Myles Garrett and more because it was what they thought were the best moves for the team. They apparently did not make these moves thinking Aaron Donald would come out of retirement to join a “super team”. That was an added bonus and […]

Rams announce 11 captains, most in Sean McVay era

The Los Angeles Rams are entering the 2026 season with an unprecedented amount of leadership. After finishing their initial 53-man roster Sunday, the Rams announced Monday that their players had voted for 11 team captains. That is the largest captain group of the Sean McVay era, surpassing the nine captains selected in 2020. The Rams […]

Rams sign 17 players to practice squad

After finalizing their initial 53-man roster Sunday, the Rams announced Monday that they had signed 17 players to the practice squad, taking advantage of the additional spot available through the NFL’s International Player Pathway program. The official group includes 16 traditional practice-squad players and international punter Jack Bouwmeester. A significant portion of the practice squad […]

Aaron Donald was historically great. The 2026 version will be different.

Aaron Donald is the only player in the history of Pro Football Focus (PFF) to record 10 seasons with a grade over 90.0. The superstar defensive tackle has never fallen below that mark. That includes his rookie year where the Los Angeles Rams slow-walked him into the fold. That includes 2022 where his season was […]

Rams 53-man roster: Does LA have enough tackles and defensive backs?

The Los Angeles Rams may boast one of the best rosters in professional football history on paper. But margins are extremely thin in the NFL. For every position of strength—like the defensive line with Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, and others—there is somewhere where LA is hoping people don’t notice just how thin they are running. […]

Rams practice squad tracker: Preseason standout Dean Connors returns

The Los Angeles Rams are entering the final stage of their preseason roster construction, but getting to the initial 53-man roster will only be part of the process. Once the Rams make their final cuts Sunday, attention will quickly shift toward building the practice squad and then beginning their quest for a World Championship as […]

No Rams claimed on waiver wire

The Los Angeles Rams did not have any of their cut players claimed on the waiver wire on Monday, leaving all of them available to be signed to the practice squad. The Rams, who were very late in the waiver order, did not claim any players either. Despite some preseason hype for players like Dean […]

Sean McVay sits starters, Rams win preseason

Sean McVay isn’t the first head coach to sit every starter and important reserve during the preseason, but the L.A. Rams may have perfected the practice. While every key player sat during the preseason, as has been the case since McVay’s second year on the job in 2018, the Rams were still praised for the […]

Puka Nacua back with Rams at Sunday’s practice

Puka Nacua was back at practice on Sunday for the Los Angeles Rams after missing the last several weeks. Nacua’s return bodes well for his availability in Week 1. On the defensive side for L.A., Myles Garrett was still out. Though not a concern, for now, fans and the team would likely like to see […]

6 things we learned from the Rams’ 53-man roster

The preseason is over. The Los Angeles Rams just finalized their initial 53-man roster. The regular season is right around the corner. But before we turn our attention to Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, let’s first take a deep dive into the newly minted roster and see what we can […]

Aaron Donald’s return to Rams is like Michael Jordan and Bulls

“I’m Back.” Some sports moments transcend a single franchise. They become defining moments for an entire generation of fans. Michael Jordan returning to the Chicago Bulls after his first retirement remains one of those moments. Jordan’s simple two-word statement—”I’m back.”—sent shockwaves throughout the sports world and immediately transformed championship expectations. Now, Aaron Donald is creating […]

Aaron Donald’s return is the worst news for this rookie

Aaron Donald is officially returning to the Los Angeles Rams. Assuming he’s on the field for the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, that is extremely bad news for a certain rookie. 2026 fourth-rounder Carver Willis just seized the starting job for the 49ers. His first game will be against one of the greatest […]

Rams 2026 53-man roster

The Los Angeles Rams have finalized their initial 53-man roster for 2026 after Sean McVay and Les Snead concluded cuts as of Sunday. The Rams did not have many competitive position battles for the final roster, so there were not any surprises when it was all said and done. Of course, besides Aaron Donald coming […]
