Demarcus Robinson played lights out on Sunday, will the Rams keep him as a free agent?
The 2024 season ended for the L.A. Rams on Sunday, losing 28-22 in the snow to the Eagles, which means that Les Snead’s job to get the team deeper in the playoffs next year has already started.
With a projected $46 million in cap space, how many of their own free agents will the Rams bring back on new deals and how many will L.A. allow to leave in free agency?

*Starter
Robinson had three catches for 74 yards on Sunday, highlighting the importance of good receiver depth on any roster. With Cooper Kupp’s future uncertain, Robinson could have a bigger role in 2025 if he’s brought back, especially if Tutu Atwell isn’t.
Is Jackson good enough at left tackle or does the team need an upgrade? If he wants to return, will he be too expensive now?
Should the Rams cut Jackson, their top 2024 free agent, before he’s due a $8.5 million roster bonus? Or was Beaux Limmer’s play against Jalen Carter on Sunday enough reason to open the center competition again?
The Rams would save $7.5 million (his roster bonus) if Kupp is released or retires.
Another free agency whiff, Parkinson did catch a touchdown on Sunday but he is maybe the third tight end at this point. Parkinson is due a $2.5 million roster bonus.
