Will the 2017 COY winner get another shot at receiving the honor?

Despite the Los Angeles Rams returning to the postseason after a 1-4 start, Sean McVay wasn’t a finalist for COY honors. The award ultimately went to the Vikings’ Kevin O’Connell, whose team was manhandled by McVay’s Rams twice. With L.A. seen as a Super Bowl contender across the league, does McVay have a better shot to win in 2025?

Well ... um, no.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, McVay has the 17th-best odds, sandwiched between rookie head coaches Brian Schottenheimer and Kellen Moore. Currently, his odds sit at +2700,...

Will Rams tap into the QB pipeline next year and if so, who is even worth it?

In their first two games of the 2025 season, the L.A. Rams will face off against quarterbacks who had very different paths to the NFL: One the expected way and one the “new” way.

In Week 1, the Rams face the Houston Texans and C.J. Stroud, a former five-star recruit who went to Ohio State out of high school, waited a year, took over the job for the next two seasons, and entered the NFL Draft as a top prospect.

In Week 2,...

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 7/1/25

For a while the Los Angeles Rams were rumored to be adding Jalen Ramsey, but he went to the Pittsburgh Steelers, so what will the next big rumor involving the Los Angeles Rams be?

Rams legends like Kurt Warner ranked among top-20 quarterbacks ever

A panel of NFL writers across 12 different outlets have ranked the top-30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era and Rams legend Kurt Warner has checked in at 19th overall. Warner comes in just behind Warren Moon at 18 and just ahead of Bart Starr at 20.

Matthew Stafford also made the list, but barely cracked it at 30th overall.

On Warner, PFF’s Sam Monson highlighted how his story alone is worthy of inclusion on the all-time list:

“As much as there is a tendency to distill football down...

Should the Rams have gotten more for Jalen Ramsey when they traded him in 2023?

With the Pittsburgh Steelers acquiring cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins, the door has officially been closed on a reunion with the Los Angeles Rams. While the Rams may have been involved in trade talks for Ramsey, the message all offseason has remained clear. This is a team that is content with their current group at cornerback. Whether or not that feeling is the correct one will be determined once the season begins.

At this point in the offseason, Ramsey seemed like an affordable...

Would Drew Allar fall to the Rams in 2026?

If the Rams end up with Drew Allar in next year’s draft, it could mean that either L.A. had a disappointing season or Allar did, but some analysts believe the two would be a good fit in any case. That includes ESPN’s Matt Miller, who mocked Allar to the Rams at pick 26 in his 2026 mock draft this week.

Miller has the Rams picking 27th, which would mean that Allar didn’t live up to expectations of potentially being the number one pick if he has a strong final season for...

The Rams offense wasn’t the same without Tyler Higbee last season. How will he return in 2025?

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has never been among the best at his position since being drafted in the fourth round in 2016. However, he has remained a consistent piece of the Rams offense and been a steady presence. When all is said and done, Higbee will likely go down as the best tight end in Rams history. As it stands, he has more than 150 receptions and 1500 yards than the next closest tight end.

What Higbee provides to the...

Former Rams cornerback stays in AFC

After months of speculation, the Miami Dolphins have traded Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers as of Monday morning. The former Los Angeles Rams cornerback stays in the AFC; heading to the North division to suit up for Mike Tomlin’s team.

Back in April, it was reported that Jalen Ramsey and the Miami Dolphins would mutually part ways before the 2025 season. Ian Rapoport that a trade would not likely occur until after June 1st because of financial parameters affecting the Miami Dolphins cap space. Trading Ramsey before June 1st would have resulted in...

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 6/30/25

Jared Verse and Philadelphia Eagles fans seem to have a mutual respect for each other, and it’s somewhat cool to watch as a follower of the NFL. Eagles’ fans can be ruthless when you don’t play well, but when you do play well, you’ll likely to get their attention in a different way.

Rams’ Jared Verse changes tune, says Eagles have best opposing fan base: ‘I’ve got to give them that’ (nfl.com)

“Probably the Eagles,” Verse told Whistle Sports in an interview when asked to name the NFL’s best opposing...

The Rams could be out of the Ramsey sweepstakes after his comments on X

Jalen Ramsey may have opened the door for the Miami Dolphins to deal him as they see fit after posting on X that he would "work wherever."

After speculation that the Los Angeles Rams were the favorites to sign the seven-time Pro Bowler this offseason the dust has settled a bit. Head coach Sean McVay explained during LA's mini camp that there were "obstacles" that may get in the way of a reunion.

“What is his salary? And are we able to take that on...

Puka Nacua being underranked at 54 was only the start of the problem

Puka Nacua is one of the top-50 players in the NFL today, if not top-20, but he was not ranked that high by Lou Scataglia at NFL Spin Zone this week. In a ranking of the top-100 players, Nacua checked in at number 56, which is at least 30 spots too low for the NFL’s fourth-leading receiver over the past two seasons in terms of yards per game.

No explanation was given as to why Puka failed to make the top-50, sandwiched in between Christian Gonzalez and...
