Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/23/25
NFL players should be able to participate in the upcoming Summer Olympic Games for flag football, and so now the question is do teams and fans want those players to perform in those games, or would you rather the players focus on NFL football?
Look, I want the Los Angeles Rams to focus on the Super Bowl, but shoot if someone can take a chance at winning a gold medal, why would I stand in their way? Both feats seem pretty rad to me.
Do you have an opinion on this? I...

Is Darious Williams the most overpaid player on the Rams salary cap?
Under normal circumstances, Darious Williams would have been an obvious cap casualty candidate in L.A. Rams training camp this fall, if not being cut weeks ago. However, the Rams guaranteed Williams his entire salary and roster bonus in 2025, making any decision to release him entirely based on whether or not he’s the worst cornerback expected to make the team.
Does that make Darious Williams the most overpaid player on the Rams roster right now?
It does not seem...

What would you like to get off your chest about the Rams, the NFL, and not banning the tush push?
Despite a tremendous effort by the NFL, the league was not successful in banning the “tush push” play this week. The proposed rule changes that would have effectively ended the tush push fell a couple of owners short of passing, so it is possible that the Philadelphia Eagles will continue to be a dominant force on short yardage in 2025.
Perhaps the question left is: Do the owners who decided not to ban the play feel optimistic that they’re catching...

Lions withdrew proposal on Wednesday after failing to get traction around the league
The Los Angeles Rams benefited from the NFL’s current playoff format when it hosted the Vikings in January. L.A. won four fewer games than Minnesota, yet hosted its wild card matchup by winning the NFC West. The current playoff seeding is deeply flawed, and changes to the format must be revisited in 2026.
Earlier this offseason, Detroit proposed that teams with the best regular season records would receive higher seeds in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Lions withdrew the proposal on Wednesday before league owners could discuss it....

Once upon a time, Jim Irsay, Rush Limbaugh and the St. Louis Rams were all connected
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has passed away, and this is cliche because it’s true, may he rest in peace. Often when a NFL owner passes we reflect on the things they did (for better or worse) because they do so much (for better or worse), and a big thing that Irsay did for the NFL was impact the ownership group of the then St. Louis Rams (now the Los Angeles Rams, of course).
Love him or hate him, [Rush Limbaugh existed, and he...

This is a links article, not a deep-dive, so please do your own research, but apparently Andrew Whitworth is pushing the idea of an award for offensive lineman, would you be into that type of award?
I am guessing there are two schools of thought. Either you think enough awards are already given out, or you would like to see the offensive line get a bit more recognition for their efforts because as it stands it’s basically impossible seeing a lineman win an offensive player award.
**Are there any other awards you’d...

Albeit on a small sample size, Michael Penix seems primed for success with Atlanta Falcons
One of the biggest breaks for the Los Angeles Rams over the 2025 offseason was acquiring the Atlanta Falcons’ first round pick next year as part of a trade down from the 26th overall selection in the NFL Draft. This pick will surely help LA future-proof the quarterback position or make a splash trade for a key veteran in hopes of putting the roster of the top amidst a Super Bowl run.
But if second-year Falcons QB Michael Penix, Jr. has anything to say about...

Puka Nacua and Davante Adams were ranked inside the top 20 ahead of the 2025 season
The Los Angeles Rams’ front office has done everything possible this offseason to help the team retain its NFC West crown. Pairing free agent addition Davante Adams with Puka Nacua will hopefully do that and more in 2025. Pro Football Focus placed the Rams duo among the outlet’s top 32 wide receivers ahead of the upcoming season.
PFF’s Trevor Sikkema grouped the wideouts into six tiers, with Nacua landing just outside Tier 1 as the NFL’s fifth-best receiver.
“Nacua missed time in 2024...

Chris Paul Jr. was a fifth-round steal for the Rams, but can he make an impact as a rookie?
Heading into the offseason, the Los Angeles Rams had a major need at linebacker. After trading away Ernest Jones in training camp, the Rams managed to get by at linebacker with Troy Reeder, Christian Rozeboom, and Omar Speights.
By the end of free agency, the Rams didn’t sign a big-name linebacker like Dre Greenlaw or Jamien Sherwood. Instead, they moved on from Rozeboom and brought back Reeder while signing Nate Landman from the Atlanta Falcons. During the draft, the Rams opted...

History favors draftees in the battle to make the roster
Looking back over the Les Snead/Sean McVay years, the Los Angeles Rams have not been afraid to put draft capital into the safety position. Starting with John Johnson (Rd3, #91) in 2017, then on to Taylor Rapp (Rd2, #61), and Terrell Burgess (Rd3, #104), before finishing up with Kamren Kinchens in 2024 (Rd3, #99), L.A. has gambled a Round 3 or better pick every couple of years. What they don’t do is hand out second contracts to safeties. Not one in the Snead/McVay years has been re-upped after their rookie...
