The 2026 offseason has been an extremely busy year for the Los Angeles Rams, but perhaps an even more taxing time for their fans. Between Matthew Stafford’s retirement plans, drafting Ty Simpson because of Stafford’s uncertain future, trading for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, and wondering if Aaron Donald is going to come out of retirement, 2026 has been anything but boring for Rams fans.

However, has it been “too much” at times?

What story or non-story or narrative are you most tired of, Rams fans?

Here’s what I’m going to do to find out:

• I’ll post questions...

In a survey of NFL execs, scouts, and coaches by ESPN, L.A. Rams’ defensive tackle wasn’t ranked in the top-10 at his position. Or even as an honorable mention.

Turner only qualified as “got votes”.

Also receiving votes: Cameron Heyward, Kobie Turner, Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark, David Onyemata, Ed Oliver

It’s not the treatment usually given to defensive tackles with 24 sacks over their first three career seasons. Turner even added a critical red zone interception against the Seahawks in November.

The top defensive tackle on the list is Seattle’s Leonard Williams. Jeffery Simmons, Jalen Carter, Chris Jones, and...

I can’t say whether Ty Simpson has had a great start to his career with the Los Angeles Rams, but if you check out Simpson’s quotes (you can see some below), he seems to be trying his best. On some level, that is all that can be asked. Try your best.

Now, depending where you look, what you search on the internet, Simpson has struggled to pass Stetson Bennett. Is that true? It’s on the internet, so it must be true. Even if Simpson is moving along slower than Bennett at this point, how bad is that? If the internet...

Change is certain for the 2026 Los Angeles Rams.

New faces—Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, Myles Garrett, Kliff Kingsbury, and others—bring different skillsets to the table. That ushers in schematic change in order to best deploy their abilities and maximize the potential of offseason acquisitions.

This is a comprehensive (hopefully exhaustive) list of all potential scheme changes coming to the Rams in 2026. We can use this as a guide and check in as we collect more information during training camp and at the start of the regular season.

First, some homework in case you haven’t been following along.

Aaron Donald’s potential unretirement seems to be at a fever-pitch, but Donald joining the Los Angeles Rams does not guarantee a Super Bowl victory. The Rams have had Donald on their roster before, and L.A. lost plenty of games. That’s not a knock on Donald, but it is indicative of football being a team sport over an individual one.

Last year, the Rams had the best quarterback in the NFL (the best player at the most important position), and the Rams fell short. Is Matthew Stafford going to repeat his MVP season? Are the Rams going to improve upon last...

When the Cleveland Browns drafted Myles Garrett with the first overall pick in 2017, analysts were calling him a generational pass rusher, the type who only comes around every 20 years. This type of praise can often be a player’s omen, a sign of disappointing results like Jadeveon Clowney. But in this case, they were right.

Garrett, now a member of the Los Angeles Rams, was voted by execs, coaches, and NFL scouts as the best edge rusher in the league today … unanimously.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler did the write-up on Garrett, sharing quotes about his versatility of moves and...

If we’re being honest, this exercise could probably end after one sentence: “Aaron Donald.”

And, to be fair, nobody would argue with that answer.

Donald is widely considered one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, winning three Defensive Player of the Year awards while redefining what an undersized interior defender could accomplish. If someone built the perfect Rams defensive lineman entirely around Donald’s skill set, they’d have a difficult time finding weaknesses.

The Rams have featured plenty of outstanding defensive linemen throughout their history. Some were dominant against the run. Others specialized in collapsing the pocket, while a...

I’ll concede that Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson must stay healthy for the title of this Random Ramsdom to have a chance at being true come for the regular season, but as it stands, the Los Angeles Rams have a good cornerback room.

It’s improved from last year, it’s perhaps the best CB room the team has had in a few seasons, and as long as this defense stays healthy, they should be solid.

Despite some saying that McDuffie isn’t a top-10 CB, facts are facts, and top-1o lists are debatable. What seems to be perceived as a fact is...

Earlier in Sean McVay’s career with the Los Angeles Rams, you could levy a fair complaint that he was often slow to adjust—whether in-season or in-game.

But since a catastrophic Super Bowl defeat at the hands of Bill Belichick in 2018, McVay has continued to find ways to reinvent himself as well as his offensive scheme.

Nate Tice joined Steve Palazzolo on the “Check the Mic” podcast recently to discuss the trends that will define the 2026 NFL season. McVay, rightfully so, came up often in the conversation.

We know teams across the league attempt to emulate both McVay and...

The San Francisco 49ers backed themselves into an uncomfortable corner with Brandon Aiyuk and having to listen to the updates about that situation every day has become exhausting for every NFL fan on the planet. It’s a situation that the Los Angeles Rams would avoided long ago, according to Colin Cowherd.

The outspoken sports talk show host went on The Herd this week and compared the Niners’ situation to how the Rams have handled similar cases, cutting bait with players—regardless of talent—before it becomes toxic.

“I’ve been saying this on the Niners for years— cut bait, move on. The...

With so many management misfires over the years in the NFL, it’s tough to find the worst contract in recent history. Here are my top five choices. Could the Rams be number one?

Allen Robinson

When the Rams signed free agent Allen Robinson to a three-year, $46.5 million contract in 2022, I actually thought it was a great move. Two years before, he’d had a terrific year with Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles throwing to him, and was the team’s leading receiver with 102 receptions and 1,250 yards.

Things went south in 2021 when the Bears cut Trubisky loose...

Donald recently participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in support of former NFL player Chris Johnson, helping raise awareness for ALS research and encouraging others to get involved. The Ice Bucket Challenge has long served as a powerful fundraising campaign, bringing together athletes, celebrities, and fans to shine a light on the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Donald’s participation once again demonstrated the leadership and character that defined his playing career just as much as his dominance between the lines.

Throughout his career, Donald earned a reputation for leading by example. Whether it was his relentless work ethic,...
