L.A. Rams News: It’s been refreshing how up front team has been

Many NFL teams lie as a form of deception and in games, competitions and sports, it can be alright to “lie” or deceive as a strategy, but so far, the Los Angeles Rams have been very transparent about their approach this offseason, and it should be refreshing to fans and NFL viewers. Instead of the […]

Trent McDuffie said he’d play for Rams back in 2025

Human interest stories can be the best part about sports, and Trent McDuffie being traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Los Angeles Rams is most definitely a sports story, but it’s a human interest one too because back in August 2025 McDuffie was asked if there was another team in the NFL he’d […]

Should Rams trade Byron Young for more proven pass rusher?

The Los Angeles Rams are entering a ‘win now’ season in 2026 as Matthew Stafford enters his age 38 season and the team is coming off of a trip to the NFC Championship game. While that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Rams need to enter another ‘F Them Picks’ era, it wouldn’t be surprising to […]

Trent McDuffie isn’t Marcus Peters 2.0 for Rams

In some cases, history tends to repeat itself to the point where the universe feels like a simulation. That seems to be the case as the Los Angeles Rams made a trade for another Kansas City Chiefs cornerback in Trent McDuffie. Back in 2017, the Los Angeles Rams lost in the playoffs with a secondary […]

Is Trent McDuffie worthy of market setting contract?

Now that the Los Angeles Rams have settled on the decision to trade a first round pick for Trent McDuffie, the next step is to solidify their investment with a contract extension for the former Chiefs cornerback. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that it is “likely” that the Rams will make McDuffie the highest-paid cornerback […]

Social media reactions to Rams’ blockbuster trade for Trent McDuffie

The first significant domino of the 2026 NFL offseason has fallen into place. The Los Angeles Rams sent four draft picks—including 29th overall this year—to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. On the topic: Rams acquire Trent McDuffie from Chiefs Trent McDuffie is a slot merchant and doesn’t fit with […]

Don’t expect the Rams to spend a lot in free agency

as the next free agency period approaches, there are strong indications the Rams may take a more measured financial approach. Rather than diving headfirst into expensive external signings, the organization appears positioned to focus inward. Three key factors could explain why Los Angeles may not spend heavily in free agency: prioritizing extensions for current players, […]

Rams acquire CB Trent McDuffie from Chiefs, per reports

The Los Angeles Rams have acquired corner Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs, per reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Pelissero notes the following picks are headed to Kansas City in exchange for the All-Pro corner: The acquisition cannot be made official until the new league year on March 11th […]

Vega Ioane could be sneaky good pick for Rams

If the Los Angeles Rams need to use their first draft pick on a player who will help them immediately, then guard Olaivavega Ioane out of Penn State would not be the best choice. But if the Rams want to continue to build on the NFL’s best offensive line and keep the offense stable for […]

L.A. Rams News: No secrets about what this team needs

There are so many false rumors and smokescreens around the NFL, but the idea that the Los Angeles Rams need to address their cornerbacks and defense is no secret. Last year, the Rams had perhaps the best offense in the league (the genunine best by some metrics), but their defense was more middle of the […]

Trent McDuffie is a slot merchant and doesn’t make sense for Rams

One of the most popular trade pairings on the NFL rumor mill is the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie. McDuffie was a first round pick in 2022. He’s set to play on his fifth-year option while Kansas City considers either extending him long term or trading him away in exchange […]

Cardinals to release Kyler Murray

The Arizona Cardinals plan to release Kyler Murray next week, the latest in a series of massive red lights when it comes to extending quarterbacks who have never won anything before. Because Murray is still owed so much money the Cardinals, he’s expected to sign with a new team for the vet minimum as anything […]

Mock Draft Round-Up: Is Kenyon Sadiq a serious reality for Rams?

When it comes to the NFL Combine, there are always going to be some overreactions. It’s how players like Tavon Austin have jumped into the first round or how Tutu Atwell becomes a mid-second round pick despite having fourth-round value. Teams value speed and athleticism, especially at skill positions on offense. Atwell wasn’t a need […]

Adding Khalil Mack could help Rams’ defensive reload

Khalil Mack is one of the top players available in free agency, and he should be a Los Angeles Rams target to help their defensive reload. The defensive stalwart opted against retirement and will explore all his options once the legal tapering period opens. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty first: Mack will be 35 when […]

L.A. Rams News: Maxx Crosby is on the table

The Los Angeles Rams adding Maxx Crosby is a big “if” but there is a chance that Crosby forces himself out of business with the Las Vegas Raiders, and nothing is certain, but a trade of Crosby wouldn’t be a surprise at this point. If Crosby is to be moved, the Rams wouldn’t be the […]

The NFL Scouting Combine is on life support

The NFL Scouting Combine has become a major problem for the league. Participation rates dramatically fell from last year and are substantially down since 2019. Many have praised the event for producing the fastest times in drills that we’ve ever seen. This is also the result of artificial selection and a lack of participation. Prospects […]

Rams tender three exclusive rights free agents

The Los Angeles Rams announced they’ve tendered three exclusive rights free agents. These were the only three players on expiring contracts available to be designated as exclusive rights free agents, which the NFL defines as: Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year […]

Rams Mock Draft: Post-NFL Combine edition

The Los Angeles Rams may not have had a large presence at the NFL Combine, but they were certainly paying attention. It’s hard to imagine head coach Sean McVay didn’t take notice when Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq ran a 4.39 40-yard dash and tested as well as he did. With the Combine wrapping up […]

Rams may need new backup quarterback in 2026

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo back in 2024, it finally added stability to a backup quarterback position that lacked it previously under head coach Sean McVay. Throughout the McVay era, the Rams had primarily trusted John Wolford in the backup quarterback role, but he was very limited as a passer. Back in […]

L.A. Rams News: Theory, but they aren’t trading for A.J. Brown

I could be way off, but I don’t think the Los Angeles Rams are trading for A.J. Brown, and I don’t think I am alone in feeling this way. Now, I cannot say this is fact because I am not Les Snead, so what do I know? But at this time, the Rams seem more […]

Free agency starts in 10 days: Key considerations for Rams

The NFL news cycle never takes a day off. We effectively went straight from the postseason to the scouting combine, and now in 10 days teams have the ability to begin signing outside free agents. How can the Los Angeles Rams get over the hump in 2026? They’ll need to find competitive edges that give […]

Rams draft: Day 4 of the NFL Combine

The big uglies, offensive linemen, storm the field on the fourth and final day of the 2026 NFL Combine. While the Los Angeles Rams return all five starters, a stellar quintet at that, there are question marks behind them. The backups are an interior heavy group and the tackles in reserve are iffy, at best. […]

Rams offseason storylines as the NFL Scouting Combine comes to a close

The Los Angeles Rams were not in attendance at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. This week still provided insight into their potential offseason plans and helped shape our expectations for the coming months. What did we learn from the rumor mill at the combine? Let’s take a moment to reflect on the week. Extension […]

Who is Rams best value going to be in 2026?

If the Los Angeles Rams extend Puka Nacua to a record-breaking contract extension this year, as many expect them to do so that he doesn’t come near free agency in 2027, then his value to the team per dollar immediately goes down. That’s just on a per dollar basis—factually a star player making $5 million […]

Rams draft: Day 3 at the NFL Combine

Day 3 of the NFL Combine brings out the pretty boys, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. The Los Angeles Rams have some needs in those first two categories, so it’s a good chance for fans to see the prospects up close without pads. The overall speed shown at the Combine so far, have been […]
