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

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.

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.

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.

For starters, stealing Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson from the Chiefs immediately vaults the […]

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.
