The Los Angeles Rams have a star-studded list of players on the roster who are entering a contract year, but the one who should take first priority is probably not the first name that comes to mind among those extension candidates. What Kevin Dotson represents, which is stability and importance on the offensive line, should make him the first player in that unit to be extended.

And it’s Dotson’s strength of consistent value and reliability that makes him an easier player contract to get finalized than teammate Puka Nacua.

When Les Snead signs the next contract extension for a Rams...

Records are meant to be broken — and for the Los Angeles Rams, that reality creates one of the more interesting storylines of the next few seasons. Some franchise marks feel untouchable, preserved by eras, opportunity, and Hall of Fame careers. Others suddenly begin to look vulnerable when a roster has continuity at quarterback, explosive skill talent, and a coaching staff willing to push the pace.

The Rams enter this chapter with several active players already climbing franchise leaderboards and putting both single-season and all-time offensive records in play. Whether it is passing totals, receiving production, touchdowns, or efficiency-based milestones,...

The Los Angeles Rams have received most of the headlines this offseason and are heavy favorites entering 2026. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears surpassed all realistic expectations last season and gave L.A. a run for their money in the playoffs, so do they deserve more hype than they’ve been getting?

First off, it’s crazy that Chicago hasn’t gotten more love. This is the same team with a Madden cover athlete AND their own Hallmark movie. What’s not to like about that?!

But for real, it’s understandable how the team has seemingly flown under the radar, and it mostly has to do...

Matthew Stafford was on the Green Light podcast with Chris Long and it’s worth your time. If you are a Rams fan this is a no-brainer to listen to, but if you like the NFL, Stafford, quarterbacks, Chris Long, whatever, it’s a great interview.

I listened to it earlier this week and it’s rich with content between long and Stafford. I am telling you, friend, it’s worth your time.

This is about as simple a Random Ramsdom as it gets. I’ll let Stafford and Long do the work for me. Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have...

A viral report from The Athletic suggests that Ty Simpson struggled to separate himself from Stetson Bennett in the Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback battle during organized team activities.

On the surface it seems concerning that the thirteenth overall selection isn’t immediately an upgrade over a former fourth-round pick and career backup in Bennett. The report stirred controversy within the Rams fanbase.

I’m here to tell you it doesn’t matter. Don’t panic. Remain calm.

First, let’s take the report from Nate Atkins in its entirety:

The Rams only had three open practices to watch before they canceled veteran minicamp, but...

The importance of running backs has been a hot topic of debate for football fans over the last 20 years, and those arguments haven’t cooled off recently. If anything, the success of teams with star running backs, including Saquon Barkley’s 2,000-yard season in 2024 and Kenneth Walker III’s Super Bowl MVP award in 2025, has only brought the importance of having a quality starter back to the forefront.

Do running backs matter?

Many of you will say no. Many of you will say that it depends on who are talking about. Even more of you will argue that running...

Training camp for the Los Angeles Rams is set for July 25 at Loyola-Marymount University and due to recent happenings, the offensive line is under the microscope. The big guys are no longer toiling in anonymity, they will work under the bright lights.

The news of of Alaric Jackson shenanigans with the opposite sex have been the main focus and Rams fans eagerly await the adjudication of his future by the NFL. These headlines have dwarfed two other big stories, the Rams lack of depth on the offensive line and the post-2026 contract status of four starters.

The news is...

The NFL is always searching for the next great head coach, and every season creates a new group of coordinators who begin appearing on shortlists across the league. For the Los Angeles Rams, one name quietly building that momentum is Chris Shula.

Shula’s rise has been steady rather than flashy. A longtime assistant under Sean McVay, he climbed through multiple roles before becoming defensive coordinator and helping oversee a Rams defense that often exceeded expectations. That alone makes him an intriguing candidate whenever head coaching openings emerge.

But as with any coordinator making the jump, the résumé has arguments on...

The Los Angeles Rams have every reason to make Puka Nacua one of the highest-paid players in football. After three seasons, Nacua has transformed from a fifth-round draft steal into the centerpiece of Sean McVay’s passing attack, and with the wide receiver market exploding this offseason, the timing is lining up for a blockbuster extension. Nacua is now extension-eligible and appears destined to become the next star receiver to cash in.

The biggest challenge for Rams general manager Les Snead is determining where Nacua fits in a rapidly changing receiver market. Two contracts stand out as the most relevant benchmarks:...

Reports are emerging that neither Stetson Bennett or Ty Simpson have been wowing anyone for the Los Angeles Rams. Reportedly both have been struggling in their attempts to win the backup quarterback role. I get that it’s worth talking about, but it’s also only June. Make your mistakes in June, July and August. Heck, you can make mistakes during the regular season, BUT you better learn from them fast.

At this point, it’s nothing to worry about. Both players are learning. If anything, it’s more disturbing that Bennett hasn’t separated himself given that he’s not a first-time rookie. He’s been...

Brandon Aiyuk has not played for the San Francisco 49ers in almost two years, but the one-time All-Pro receiver does not believe his career is over. In fact, Aiyuk continues to stay away from the 49ers facilities, but says he wants the team to cut him, at which point he says he will immediately sign with the Washington Commanders. It’s not clear to anyone if Aiyuk will play in the NFL next season, but the Los Angeles Rams play the 49ers twice and the Commanders once. They might get their chance.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Aiyuk reiterated his...

The NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2026 list has begun dropping, and it’s almost time to see where Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford lands. With Stafford coming off an MVP season, he’s likely to earn his highest placement ever on the list, but where exactly is uncertain.

The Top 100 Players list recognizes accomplishments from the previous year and ranks players ahead of the upcoming season. Stafford has made the NFL’s Top 100 Players rankings eight times in his career. He made the list five times with the Lions, with the remaining three with Los Angeles. Additionally, the veteran...
