Rams’ worst collapse comes to mind after England’s World Cup choke

Rams’ worst collapse comes to mind after England’s World Cup choke

Soccer fans witnessed Argentina’s epic 2-1 comeback win over rival England on Wednesday to advance to the World Cup final. Argentina scored its two goals late to secure the victory. In the spirit of collapses, it’s time to look at what might be the Los Angeles Rams’ biggest choke job in franchise history.

Earlier this offseason, I revisited the Rams’ greatest comeback ever, and now it’s time to do the opposite. Just last season, the team blew a 19-point lead to the Eagles in Week 3 and a 16-point lead to the Seahawks a week before Christmas. While those losses...

Aaron Donald timeline of events

Aaron Donald timeline of events

Few storylines have generated as much discussion as the possibility of Aaron Donald returning to the Los Angeles Rams this offseason.

Whether it’s Sean McVay leaving the door open, teammates being asked about the rumors, or analysts debating what a reunion could mean for Los Angeles’ Super Bowl aspirations, Donald’s name has remained at the center of the offseason conversation. Even after more than two years away from the game, his impact on the franchise is undeniable, and the mere possibility of wearing No. 99 again has captivated the NFL world. As training camp approaches, here’s a look back at...

As receiver contracts soar, Rams must keep open options with Puka Nacua

As receiver contracts soar, Rams must keep open options with Puka Nacua

As the L.A. Rams evaluate their options regarding Puka Nacua and a possible contract extension, the question is not necessarily how much a number one receiver costs these days, but whether the value meets the price.

In many recent cases, it hasn’t. So the Rams must think twice before paying Nacua top dollar.

The highest-paid receivers of 2025

Looking into what the success rate was for the top-paid wide receivers from the 2025 season, many of them and the teams paying them fell way below expectations. This is especially a consideration for the Rams and Nacua, given his injury...

Big changes in the Rams cornerback room

Big changes in the Rams cornerback room

Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead approached the 2026 free agency period with a mandate, repair a porous cornerback room. Obviously, he coveted what they had in Kansas City and poached both their starters. First was the blockbuster trade and contract for Trent McDuffie and following on its heels was the free agency signing of Jaylen Watson. In the course of a few days, the Rams agreed to terms with both and rebuilt the cornerback room.

The L.A. braintrust decided those two moves were enough, bypassing any remaining NFL free agents and any additions through the draft. Only a...

One big advantage Blake Corum has over Kyren Williams

One big advantage Blake Corum has over Kyren Williams

The 2026 backfield of the Los Angeles Rams could easily be the most split we’ve seen in the Sean McVay era:

Season Primary Running Back Share of Total RB Carries 2017 Todd Gurley 78% 2018 Todd Gurley 69% 2019 Todd Gurley 75% 2023 Kyren Williams 73% 2024 Kyren Williams 76% 2025 Kyren Williams 54% Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are effectively co-starters. Williams accumulated 1,252 yards in 2025. Corum enjoyed a breakout year and rushed for 746 yards. The duo fell just two pennies short of 2,000 total yards.

The split could further approach 50/50 in 2026. Corum at times...

L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse doesn’t believe Aaron Donald unretires (unless)

L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse doesn’t believe Aaron Donald unretires (unless)

Jared Verse was perhaps unfairly (or fairly?) asked about the potential unretirement of Aaron Donald, and Verse basically said that he doesn’t believe Donald will unretire, unless Donald unretires.

Sometimes the simple answers are the best.

Verse is right. Aaron Donald isn’t going to unretire unless Aaron Donald unretires. Until a decision is made, it’s all speculation, and it’s not anything to waste time on for some around the league.

For me? I’ll waste all the time on it. I love the speculation on Donald. Do I think he’ll unretire? At this point I am leaning towards it (I am...

Winning 17 games? Well, there’s a chance.

Winning 17 games? Well, there’s a chance.

Much has been made of the Los Angeles Rams earning the title of preseason Super Bowl favorites. While the distinguishment is meaningless until LA proves its credentials on the field, this is an acknowledgement of an impressive offseason on the heels of a NFC Championship berth.

Winning the Super Bowl is the apple of everyone’s eye.

The New England Patriots proved this in 2007 when they won 18-straight games (including playoffs) before falling short to the New York Giants in the championship. History remembers the 1972 Miami Dolphins much more kindly. The Patriots are left as a footnote of NFL...

Ty Simpson’s preseason could be a Sean McVay first

Ty Simpson’s preseason could be a Sean McVay first

Since early in his career as the L.A. Rams head coach, Sean McVay has gradually pulled starters, then key backups, out of having any snaps during the preseason. This would lead fans to believe that Ty Simpson, arguably the most important rookie draft pick of McVay’s tenure, will sit out most, if not all, of the preseason. However, given how the Rams quarterback room is currently setup, McVay could go in the complete opposite direction of his usual instincts.

What if Ty Simpson plays during most of the preseason?

McVay has not stated a preseason plan, and he surely won’t...

Don’t be surprised if Keagen Trost earns playing time in 2026

Don’t be surprised if Keagen Trost earns playing time in 2026

Among the Los Angeles Rams’ many offensive stars, don’t be surprised if a rookie takes some of the spotlight from them. Especially don’t be shocked if that first-year player sees the field at some point this season.

Los Angeles took offensive tackle Keagen Trost with the No. 93 pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft. His time in college was full of versatility and challenges that he took head-on. He didn’t back down from any role, and don’t expect that to change at the professional level.

It’s that mindset that will likely earn him playing time at...

Matthew Stafford is having one of the best second acts in NFL history

Matthew Stafford is having one of the best second acts in NFL history

When the Los Angeles Rams sent Jared Goff (and three draft picks) to the Detroit Lions in exchange for Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay and company thought they were acquiring the missing piece for their championship dreams. Not only were they right, but Stafford almost certainly surpassed their loftiest hopes.

By leading the Rams to a Super Bowl and winning an MVP over the past five seasons, Stafford has gone above and beyond to establish his place among the NFL’s most-respected pivots, transforming his own narrative from that of a compiler with minimal success to a legitimate Hall of Fame contender....
