Los Angeles Rams
The Rams once had several the best offenses in history, what will it take to get there again?
As we talked about in last weekend’s post on what the L.A. Rams are best at, the ‘99 “Greatest Show on Turf” is the most iconic team of the past 40 years. All due respect to Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, the defenses of the 2000 Ravens, 2002 Bucs, and 2013 Seahawks, or whatever other team you think is being “disrespected” right now, just last year people were trying to coin the phrase “Greatest Show on Surf” for the Miami Dolphins.
No.

Who are the Rams’ 2025 free agents, and which players are worth keeping around?
With the 2024 free agent period and NFL Draft now squarely in the rearview mirror, we can take an early peak at the Los Angeles Rams’ 2025 crop of free agents. The following players are in the last year of their deals and are set to hit the open market at the conclusion of the upcoming season:

First-year DC Chris Shula has tools needed for success. He won’t have many excuses if his unit falls flat in 2024.
While known in previous years for making splashy moves and headlines, the Los Angeles Rams kept a much more low profile this offseason. They continued their investment along the interior of the offensive line as they embrace a more physical brand of football on offense. On defense, they will journey into a world post-Aaron Donald’s retirement and spent free agency and the NFL Draft restocking the cupboard of talent.

The Rams drafted Bobby Brown in 2021 and he has yet to showcase exactly who he is. Will that change in 2024?
Bobby Brown III was an athletic freakish defensive tackle out of Texas A&M that the Rams drafted in the fourth round of 2021. He’s started 14 games in his young career out of the 32 he’s played in. Here’s why 2024 could change it all for the 23 year old.
First off, did you know that Brown is younger than newly-drafted Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Desjuan Johnson, Larrell Murchison and Cory Durden? The only defensive interior lineman that...

It’s good to see the Los Angeles Rams taking care of business as they get Braden Fiske to sign on the dotted line. LA will have to take care of each of their new rookie contacts and who knows, maybe they’ll have enough money left over to add another receiver? It’s Monday. I don’t want to make you work harder than you already are. Please comment on WHATEVER you want and have a great day! Go Rams. Thanks for checking our Turfshowtimes.

Whether by 2024 trade or 2025 free agency, Rams would be smart to keep eye on Kenny Clark
If the L.A. Rams can’t find a defensive tackle in the draft who can sit on Aaron Donald’s throne for a while, maybe they can do it in trade. Or free agency. And the top name on everyone’s list is going to be Kenny Clark.
As written by Acme Packing Company, the Packers are entering a desperate situation with regard to Clark’s 2024 cap number, meaning that Green Bay probably needs to extend Clark to lower it...or risk parting ways with Clark...

Between Sean McVay and SoFi Stadium, where do the Rams rank first in the NFL?
The Los Angeles Rams lost the mother of all defensive tackles this year when Aaron Donald retired, so that’s one less “best” for team owner Stan Kroenke. But the Rams aren’t running on E when it comes to being number one.
These are six things the Rams might have the best of in the NFL.
Not only are the Rams the first professional sports team to move to the west coast, setting a precedent for the Dodgers, Lakers, and many, many others...

Whittington could be a roster lock after Ben Skowronek was traded to Texans
With the 213th overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams took Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington to pair with All-Pros Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. The selection was initially viewed as a solid depth piece at wideout. However, a larger role might be carved out for the rookie following the surprise trade of Ben Skowronek to the Houston Texans on Thursday.
Is Whittington a lock to make the 53-man roster after the Skowronek trade? There’s reason to believe the Longhorns playmaker is in line to become the next...

Will Matthew Stafford still be the Rams quarterback post-2026?
Every offseason, the Athletic Football Show podcast does an exercise called “The Quarterback Draft.” Essentially, the hosts of the show draft quarterbacks (and their contracts) who they would want leading their franchise over the next three seasons. Three years from now is 2026. That’s the same offseason in which Matthew Stafford’s contract is set to expire. With that in mind, it’s worth thinking about the Los Angeles Rams future quarterback situation and if Stafford will still be the quarterback in three years.
To reiterate the rules here, the exercise isn’t necessarily...

The Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford may be figuring out what the new right price for both sides will be. There are reports that Stafford would like to change his deal and the assumption is he wants more guaranteed money, but there also hasn’t been too much information revealed so most of it is speculation. I was wondering today is there any chance that Stafford and his camp want to see if Goff gets any type of extension? Could the Rams be waiting to see the same information? Quarterback contracts can...

How likely are the Rams undrafted free agents to make the final roster?
While the 10 draft picks that the Los Angeles Rams selected during the NFL Draft will steal all of the offseason headlines, the Rams picked up 16 more rookies after the draft. Following the draft, the Rams signed 16 undrafted free agents who will be looking to fight their way on the roster.
Thor Nystrom of Fantasy Pros ranked the undrafted free agent class for each team in the NFL. Coming in at number 24 was the Rams UDFA class. Said Nystrom,

Rams have invested in defense while expecting the offense to stay the same
Now that the dust has settled on free agency and the NFL Draft, I find myself looking back on the offseason for the Los Angeles Rams and I feel uninspired. While the team’s improbable mid-season turnaround to return to the playoffs last year was fun to watch, I’m not sure that we should set the bar at the postseason for the 2024 version of the Rams.
Los Angeles has spent the offseason pouring resources into the defense while hoping its offense can maintain momentum, but it’s dangerous...
