A tale of two Jareds: Rams have twice skipped developmental arc

Les Snead and the Los Angeles Rams have taken their “F them picks” mantra to a new level. They’ve now completed their second blockbuster trade of the offseason—this time with the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Myles Garrett. They’ve best defensive player in the NFL will net Jared Verse, a first round pick, along with […]

Rams had been working on Myles Garrett trade for weeks

The Los Angeles Rams made a stunning trade with the Cleveland Browns for Myles Garret at the start of the new league year, and as shocking as the news was (is?), the teams had been working on this deal for multiple weeks. Peter Shrager broke down details of the trade on the Pat McAfee Show […]

The Rams fleeced the Browns for Myles Garrett

The biggest trade of the NFL offseason could also be one of the most lopsided deals in NFL history. The Los Angeles Rams acquired Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, landing a pass rusher who, if he follows the same trajectory as other Hall of Fame defensive ends of his caliber, could have at least […]

Grading the Rams-Browns blockbuster trade

The Los Angeles Rams have never shied away from making bold moves in pursuit of a Super Bowl, and their blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett is another example of the franchise pushing its chips toward the center of the table. Acquiring one of the NFL’s most dominant defensive players immediately elevates the Rams’ championship aspirations, […]

Why the Rams traded for Myles Garrett

The Los Angeles Rams have never been afraid to make bold moves when they believe a championship window is open. General manager Les Snead has built a reputation for aggressively pursuing elite talent, whether through blockbuster trades or splashy free-agent signings. Snead has once again made his a move, this time with a trade for […]

Rams Acquire Myles Garrett in Blockbuster Trade With Browns

The Los Angeles Rams are finalizing the biggest trade of the NFL offseason, acquiring star pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2028 second, and a 2029 third, according to multiple reports. The Rams’ interest in trading for Garrett started earlier this year […]

Tavon Austin thinks Rams ruined his career

Tavon Austin still believes that he would have become an NFL superstar if it wasn’t for Jeff Fisher and the Rams. However, he can’t quite keep a straight story on the points he makes from his days in the league and the Rams may have avoided this story entirely if they had drafted DeAndre Hopkins […]

L.A. Rams News: Seattle Seahawks look like team to beat in NFC

The Los Angeles Rams have had what appears to be a great offseason, but the Seattle Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl Champions. They are the team to beat in the NFC and across the NFL in 2026. Who knows, perhaps Seattle stumbles out of the gate and are an afterthought earlier than expected, but […]

Rams rumored as suitor for Myles Garrett trade

A trade for Myles Garrett would be a once-in-a-lifetime move, even for the Los Angeles Rams and general manager Les Snead. But if any NFL franchise is willing to surrender multiple first-round picks for a future Hall of Famer, it’s the Rams, and Tuesday is the deadline to watch as the Cleveland Browns show their […]

Emmanuel Forbes must take notes from Trent McDuffie

Emmanuel Forbes has never shared a locker room with a cornerback as good as Trent McDuffie, the player that the Los Angeles Rams traded for this year to help replace him and his fallen comrades. Now is the time for Forbes to take advantage of the meetings and practices he shares with McDuffie and free […]

Matthew Stafford has a complicated decision to make

It is almost never easy to see the end coming. Matthew Stafford’s upcoming retirement decisions is one of the most significant unknowns surrounding the Los Angeles Rams and the outlook on the NFL. When the Rams say that Stafford has earned the right to end his career on his own terms, they are really saying […]

Reviewing the historical success of high-profile corner additions

One of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason was the Los Angeles Rams trading with the Kansas City Chiefs for Trent McDuffie. LA sent a late first round pick and some change to KC and then immediately signed the corner to a massive contract extension. But the Rams weren’t done. They then signed his […]

Rams most competitive position battles this summer

The Los Angeles Rams enter training camp with one of the deepest rosters they have assembled in recent years, creating fierce competition across multiple position groups. While several starting jobs appear secure, a handful of key battles could have a major impact on the team’s 53-man roster and depth chart heading into the 2026 season. […]

How the Vikings’ New GM Impacts the Rams

The Minnesota Vikings ended their search for a new general manager on Saturday by hiring Nolan Teasley, who has spent the last 14 years working for the Seattle Seahawks under John Schneider. The move impacts the Los Angeles Rams in several key ways, not the least of which being that Teasley beat out Rams assistant […]

ESPN’s Ben Solak praises Rams cornerback overhaul

The Los Angeles Rams went all in on rebuilding their cornerbacks room this offseason, flashing the cash to both trade for Trent McDuffie, acquiring him from the Kansas City Chiefs, and to sign another former Chief, Jaylen Watson, as a free agent. McDuffie’s play through his first four seasons in Kansas City earned him the […]

Max Klare signs rookie contract

The Los Angeles Rams have officially locked up another member of their 2026 draft class, signing second-round pick Max Klare to his rookie contract. The agreement removes any uncertainty surrounding one of the organization’s most intriguing offensive additions and allows the talented tight end to focus solely on preparing for his first NFL season. Klare […]

Puka Nacua isn’t focusing on his next contract

Puka Nacua is arguably the best value in the NFL. He’s in the upper echelon of wide receivers league-wide, and (for now) he’s only set to count $5.8 million against the Los Angeles Rams’ salary cap. In other words, as things currently stand, one of the best and most productive offensive players in the NFL […]

L.A. Rams News: Kevin Dotson has been solid

Kevin Dotson is a player that the Los Angeles Rams traded the Pittsburgh Steelers for several years ago, and he’s been solid if not great for the L.A. Rams. If I understand correctly, this is the final year of his contract, so it will be interesting to see if he earns an extension from L.A. […]

Quentin Lake: ‘it’s starting to click’ for Ty Simpson in OTAs

Quentin Lake was named a team captain for each of the last two seasons for the Los Angeles Rams. When he speaks from his position of authority, we should listen. Lake joined Underdog Sports’ “The Arena: Gridiron” podcast this week and discussed the vibes around LA’s offseason organized team activities (OTA’s). He also shared his […]

Matthew Stafford knows any snap could be the last

Matthew Stafford recently completed an interview on the Magic Minds Podcast where he spoke about trying not to focus too much on the past or future of his NFL career, but to focus on the present, knowing that any play could be his last of the season (and potentially his career). Said Stafford, “We play […]

Matthew Stafford is handling the Ty Simpson pick as well as possible

When you draft a quarterback with the 13th-overall pick in the NFL draft, you’re directing a large spotlight on yourself. The Los Angeles Rams knew that when they took Ty Simpson out of Alabama with that selection. It’s never easy to make that pick when you already have an established starting quarterback. Some veterans don’t […]

Reuniting with Bobby Wagner for one last send-off isn’t worth it

Perennial linebacker Bobby Wagner is back on the market following a two-year stint in Washington, and he’s one player the Los Angeles Rams should steer clear of. Signing Wagner for one last send-off and to offer him a chance at a redo for a bad lone season in Hollywood is not worth it one bit […]

Jared Verse must make huge leap in year 3

The Los Angeles Rams have built one of the youngest and most intriguing defensive fronts in the NFL but as the 2026 season approaches, one player stands above the rest when it comes to pressure and expectations: Jared Verse. The former Florida State standout entered the NFL with massive hype after the Rams selected him […]

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, […]
