Rams are investing in special teams for first time in a long while

Tutu Atwell joins Frankstein’s Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins will look a lot different in 2026. Not only have the Dolphins replaced Mike McDaniel with new head coach Jeff Hafley and Tua Tagovailoa with new quarterback Malik Willis, but now Tutu Atwell will be tapped to be the new speed demon in place of Tyreek Hill. Tutu is no Cheetah, but […]

Are Rams being proactive enough in free agency?

Aside from a new longsnapper, the Los Angeles Rams have only made one outside free agent signing this week by adding cornerback Jaylen Watson to a three-year deal. Of course, that moves comes at the same time that the Rams traded for Trent McDuffie, in its way another “free agent” deal but at the price […]

Future pain will be worth it if Rams win another title

After falling short of the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams are going all in to ensure that won’t happen again in 2026. The future pain of an inevitable rebuild will ultimately be worth it if the Rams manage to win another title. L.A. sent four total draft picks to the Chiefs for cornerback Trent […]

L.A. Rams News: They brought back Keir Thomas

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed on a deal to bring back Keir Thomas who missed all of last year due to injury, but could have the chance to flourish in the anticipated new look L.A. defense. According to some of my information below, Thomas was an undrafted free agent a few years ago, so […]

Who are Rams remaining free agents?

The Los Angeles Rams wanted to keep Tutu Atwell off of the market so badly last year that they signed him to a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $10 million. Now at the start of the new league year and teams rapidly gobbling up the best free agents in the last three days, there hasn’t […]

Rams get good marks for Jaylen Watson signing

SoFi Stadium is hosting the next Super Bowl and many analysts, as well as Vegas bettors, are seeing the Los Angeles Rams as the favorites to play for the championship in their home stadium based on their offseason moves already. Not only did the Rams trade a first round pick for cornerback Trent McDuffie, a […]

L.A. Rams News: Moves in 2026 will affect 2027

The idea that the Los Angeles Rams are going “All-in” for a Super Bowl seems to be real with L.A. making massive free agency moves to add to what was already a strong roster, will any of these massive signings prevent the Rams from extending any other players whose contracts are coming due? Will some […]

Which parts of Rams still need addressed after initial free agency wave?

The new consensus seems to assert that the Los Angeles Rams now enjoy the most well-rounded roster in football. LA has taken their cornerback room—a position of weakness—and made it into a strength following their aggressive first week of the offseason. Out goes Cobie Durant, Roger McCreary, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Darious Williams (at least for […]

Teams can still back out of trades

It’s a good thing that the Rams appear to have everything set for an official acquisition and extension for Trent McDuffie on Wednesday because the Raiders dropped a bombshell announcement on Tuesday: The Baltimore Ravens have “backed out” of their agreement to trade two first round picks for Maxx Crosby. The news has left the […]

Cardinals strike out on Garoppolo

The Arizona Cardinals were interested in reuniting Jimmy Garoppolo with new head coach Mike LaFleur, but when those talks hit a snag that’s when the team pivoted to Gardner Minshew. LaFleur was looking to give one of the quarterbacks he worked with on the Rams a chance to compete for reps against Jacoby Brissett in […]

No more excuses for Chris Shula and the defense

The Los Angeles Rams have spent big in free agency, double-dipping at cornerback, which should bode well for Chris Shula’s unit. Given the improved personnel in the secondary, there should be no more excuses for Shula and the defense in 2026. For starters, stealing Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson from the Chiefs immediately vaults the […]

Rams add 2 draft picks

What were the best and worst moves of day 1?

The Los Angeles Rams made one move on the first day of free agency by signing cornerback Jaylen Watson to a three-year contract.

L.A. Rams News: This defense is wild on paper

You cannot win the Super Bowl in March, but you can construct a fun team on paper, and so far, the Los Angeles Rams are doing that by adding Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson to their roster all while still having Cam Kurl, Quentin Lake, Jared Verse, Nate Landman and more. This defense on paper […]

NFC West free agency thoughts: Are Seahawks, 49ers getting worse?

The first day of the NFL’s free agency legal tampering period brought big headlines to the NFC West. The Los Angeles Rams broke the ice late last week when they unofficially completed their trade for ex-Kansas City Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie and then signed him to a massive contract extension. Since then the dominoes continue […]

Rams add veteran long snapper Joe Cardona

The Los Angeles Rams have reportedly added Joe Cardona on a two-year deal as their presumed long snapper. On a day with so many free agency acquisitions a long snapper deal may fly under the radar, but for the Rams who’ve had an inconsistent special teams for some time, it’s another move that says they […]

Should Rams trade for Brian Thomas, Jr.?

When Rams general manager Les Snead has needed to call in a favor from a former colleague in the past, he once traded for Matthew Stafford after one of his disciples took over the Lions general manager. Could Snead do something similar with Jaguars general manager James Gladstone among rumors that Jacksonville would be willing […]

Jaylen Watson contract details

The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with Jaylen Watson on Monday and the contract details show that the team only incurs a $7 million cap hit in 2026. That number does take a significant jump in 2027, going up to $22 million for the former seventh round pick who spent four seasons with the […]

Could Rams pair Trent McDuffie with teammate

The Los Angeles Rams made one of the biggest moves of the offseason last week when they traded for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie.

Rams 2026 Mock Offseason: Building the perfect offseason

The Los Angeles Rams 2025 season went very similarly to the one in 2024. The Rams came just four points and a few plays away from representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.
