Can Kyren Williams reach 2,000 yards?
As a fifth round pick, Kyren Williams was not supposed to become this successful and even the Los Angeles Rams could not expect the career he’s had. Fans have seen general manager Les Snead draft so many running backs in the first three rounds that a fifth rounder would have had relatively low expectations starting […]
L.A. Rams News: Sean McVay has an idea for their next international game
It’s part of my job these last several years, but even before I wrote for Turf Show Times I was constantly sucking down Los Angeles Rams news (including from this very site), and today’s news I’ll share is that Sean McVay wants the next three “international games” for the Los Angeles Rams to be in, […]
The Rams achieved everything they wanted this offseason
The Los Angeles Rams were at a crossroads to start the 2026 offseason. They could choose between going “all in” and pushing for their second Super Bowl under Sean McVay or they could take a more measured look and attempt to sustain success longer term. This is how I saw the path in front of […]
This rookie caught Sean McVay’s attention in OTAs
Rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels is garnering attention from media and the coaching staff during offseason organized team activities (OTA’s). The Los Angeles Rams are crowded at receiver, although they need someone to emerge behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Daniels could grow into that role. It is still very early in the offseason, and […]
Puka Nacua present at Rams OTAs
Puka Nacua is just another football player this week. The Rams couldn’t ask for anything more. Starting organized training activities in Woodland Hills, the Rams got back to on-field workouts in 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills, meaning that finally Matthew Stafford can start throwing passes to Puka again. In the midst of a tumultuous year […]
PFF tabs Kamren Kinchens for All-Pro breakout
Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Kinchens is trending towards earning All-Pro honors in what could be a breakout 2026 campaign. Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus tabbed the third-year defender as one of 10 players who could become first-time All-Pros this season: “What would enable Kinchens to become a true star is more balanced work […]
The potential downside to Rams’ recent draft choices
Over the last two seasons the Los Angeles Rams have mostly spent their top capital in the NFL draft on what are typically considered luxury picks. In 2025 they traded out of the first round and selected TE Terrance Ferguson in the second. Sean McVay recently re-asserted his belief that the Rams would have taken […]
5 Rams that are likely to breakout in 2026
The young core of the Los Angeles Rams has quickly become one of the more intriguing groups in the NFL, and 2026 could be the season where several ascending players fully arrive on the national stage. The Rams have consistently leaned on draft development under head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead, and […]
L.A. Rams News: Trade rumors around Kayvon Thibodeaux
Trade rumors are supposed to be fun, but they can get very serious and some can be rather heated, so allow me to present to you the idea of the Los Angeles Rams making a trade with the New York Giants for Kayvon Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux is an incredibly talented former top pick, but if the […]
Ty Simpson and two other Rams remain unsigned
The Los Angeles Rams have already taken care of part of their 2026 rookie class, but three members of the draft haul still remain unsigned as the organization continues to work through rookie contract negotiations ahead of the summer. While rookie deals are largely slotted under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, offset language, payment structure, […]
Saquon Barkley sought advice from Rams legend
The Philadelphia Eagles have a new offensive coordinator who is expected to run a Sean McVay-style offense and star Saquon Barkley wants to be as prepared as possible for Week 1, so he’s reaching out to former Rams running backs for advice. Namely, former Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley. Barkley was asked about […]
Jordan Whittington is the answer to Rams’ receiver need
Jordan Whittington is perfect for the role of being Matthew Stafford’s third option in the Rams’ offensive scheme, and there is definitely a need for one who also knows how to lay a clean block. Even if Sean McVay goes as advertised, with 50% of his offensive snaps in 13 personnel, that still leaves 30-40% […]
Despite new contract, Matthew Stafford’s 2027 return not guaranteed
Many in the NFL media and fan landscape interpreted Matthew Stafford’s recent contract extension as a sign he plans to return in 2027. While the infrastructure is now built out from salary cap and contractural standpoints, Stafford is still not guaranteed to be on the roster after this season. Sean McVay and the Rams have […]
L.A. Rams News: Max Klare the steal they needed?
Max Klare was taken by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round of the latest NFL Draft as they’ve continued to try and add to their tight end room. The talk of the Rams and their 2026 draft has rightfully revolved around them taking Ty Simpson, but Klare could wind up being the more […]
Ty Simpson is ‘F them picks’ Incarnate
The Los Angeles Rams’ two biggest moves of the offseason, trading for Trent McDuffie and drafting Ty Simpson, are a continuation of general manager Les Snead’s “F them picks” mentality. Even if Simpson is only the second player drafted in the first round by the Rams in the last 10 years, he represents the “F […]
Defining roles for each of Rams’ reserve receivers
It has been mildly surprising that so far this offseason the Los Angeles Rams have not made a splash at receiver despite a visible need behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In some ways this decision—that is subject to change leading into training camp or ahead of the NFL trade deadline—reminds me of the team’s […]
L.A. Rams News: Ty Simpson thinks he has ‘advantage’ of learning from veterans
Ty Simpson is going into his rookie NFL season thinking he has an advantage as he’ll be able to directly learn from players like Matthew Stafford and Davantae Adams. It’s good that Simpson feels he’ll have support and the ability to learn from established stars and coaches, but at some point, he’ll likely have to […]
Rams still searching for answers against Eagles under McVay
The Philadelphia Eagles have been the Los Angeles Rams’ kryptonite since Sean McVay arrived in Los Angeles. With both teams set to face each other for the fourth straight season, L.A. must figure out a way to get past their nemesis in 2026 or risk falling short in the conference yet again. Under McVay, the […]
Rams way-to-early hot takes for 2026 season
The Los Angeles Rams rarely operate like a franchise content with standing still. Every offseason under head coach Sean McVay brings aggressive roster moves, calculated risks, and a belief that the organization can compete with anyone when healthy. After reshaping parts of the roster again this offseason, expectations are rising entering training camp. The Rams […]
L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse could be more disruptive in 2026
Jared Verse has been a strong defensive player for the Los Angeles Rams, but can he do even more in 2026? With the Rams new look secondary Verse could be in for a very big year which could lead to Verse earning a massive pay day from the Rams after his third year. Verse has […]
Back-to-back MVP awards is Matthew Stafford’s to lose
The Los Angeles Rams schedule for 2026 sets Matthew Stafford up with a great opportunity to win back-to-back MVP awards thanks to more exposure in primetime and the opportunity for him and Sean McVay to build on the narrative that he’s the most valuable quarterback in the NFL. MVP voters are often criticized for being […]
The highest-paid UDFA on the Rams is also a TE
The Los Angeles Rams already have the deepest tight end room in the NFL with five players who are a lock to make a 53-man roster, whether it’s L.A. or somewhere else, but it turns out that Sean McVay’s obsession with the position doesn’t stop there. As details emerged about the Rams’ undrafted signing bonuses […]
5 Rams that are likely to regress in 2026
The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2026 season with expectations that are as high as they have been in years. After a deep playoff push and an aggressive offseason that included adding marquee talent on both sides of the football, the Rams appear built to contend for another NFC title. However, every season brings statistical […]
Trent McDuffie’s tenure with Rams may be similar to Jalen Ramsey
When the Los Angeles Rams acquired Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this offseason, the move immediately felt familiar. Not just because the Rams once again traded premium draft capital for an established star, but because the structure of the deal — and the expectations attached to it — mirrored the franchise-altering acquisition […]
Ty Simpson tells us how Sean McVay really feels about Brock Purdy
Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2020 Super Bowl. Just months later they traded multiple first round picks to take a shot at a physically talented and ultra-toolsy quarterback in Trey Lance. Shanahan was chasing the next Mahomes. Lance was traded to the […]
