Matthew Stafford is at the stage of his career now where the topic of retirement comes up every offseason, but the Rams’ MVP quarterback says he has no plans to plan ahead. *“*It is year-to-year because I think it’s fair to the team, I think it’s fair to me, my family—I don’t want to sit there and say, OK, 24 months from now, I’ve got to be ready to play another football season,“ Stafford revealed, in a wide-ranging interview with former Rams pass rusher Chris Long.
It’s a fair retort for a quarterback who has earned the right to make...

LeRoy Irvin has died after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 68. The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the Rams was drafted by the team in 1980 and had an immediate impact, forcing turnovers as early as his rookie season, and then being named as a first-team All-Pro in 1981.
Irvin spent 10 seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, prior to one last season in 1990 with the Detroit Lions.
Irvin, a third-round pick out of Kansas, was named to the Pro Bowl in 1985 and 1986.
Between 1983 and 1987, Irvin was a scoring machine on defense,...

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a career year and is the reigning MVP. Yet Pro Football Focus rated him only the fifth-best starter heading into the 2026 season, suggesting he continues to be disrespected by the media to some degree.
PFF’s Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick’s rankings of the NFL’s 32 starters are based on PFF passing grade, Wins Above Replacement (WAR) and EPA per dropback from the last three seasons. Stafford was placed behind Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, despite leading the league with a 91.7 PFF passing grade and 4.49...

Each year, 250+ college prospects are drafted by NFL teams and another 500+ are signed as undrafted free agents. These roster candidates are provided by 800+ college football programs from coast-to-coast. 93 percent of NFL 53-man active rosters came from NCAA FBS schools in 2025.
According to drafthistory.com, Notre Dame (538) has had the most players drafted, followed by USC (533), Ohio State (500), and Michigan and Alabama (521). Since 2020, Georgia leads the pack with 70, then comes Alabama (63), Ohio State (61), Michigan (58) and LSU (57).
It’s fair to say that the Rams aren’t on the “big...

The Los Angeles Rams have been blessed with some of the best offensive linemen in NFL history. From Hall of Famers to overlooked role players, every era of Rams football has featured trench warriors who helped define championship-caliber offenses. Whether your memories begin with Tom Mack, Jackie Slater, Dennis Harrah, Kent Hill, and Doug Smith, or you’re more familiar with the Greatest Show on Turf with Orlando Pace, Adam Timmerman, and Andy McCollum. Maybe your knowledge only extends to the McVay era with Rodger Saffold, Andrew Whitworth, John Sullivan, and Rob Havenstein. Either way there is no shortage of great...

The Los Angeles Rams may be revealing another new uniform this year, maybe. We don’t actually know, but it sounds like something the Rams marketing team would do. For me, I gotta say I miss the St. Louis uniforms. I also think the classic Eric Dickerson (if you will) uniforms have a nice touch to them.
The current jerseys are fine. I even liked the black ones they showed off last year, but nostalgia wins this round because I prefer the older looks. The classic style.
But hey, that’s just like my opinion, man.
Today is Thursday, but for the...

The Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver CJ Daniels kept tabs on each other long before their paths crossed in the 2026 NFL draft.
Daniels, who Los Angeles traded up 10 spots with the Eagles to acquire in the sixth round, told the Rams’ official website that he models his game, specifically his releases, after Davante Adams and has also watched a bunch of Puka Nacua film. He added that the team has followed his game since his time at Liberty and LSU, and it was a “dream come true” to join the organization.
Both Daniels and the Rams seemed...

The Los Angeles Rams have been getting positive marks for their acquisitions all offseason, starting and ending with two blockbuster trades for Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. But the whole could be worse than the parts, at least according to ESPN. Seth Walder, the network’s analytics expert, posted his annual offseason grades on Wednesday and the Rams came in near the very bottom.
Walder gave the Rams a C+ grade for their offseason moves, citing the Ty Simpson draft pick as a low point and arguing that the upgrade from Jared Verse to Garrett is not substantial enough to justify...

The Los Angeles Rams earned some endearing names for their aggressive team building approach: “F them picks”, “stars and scrubs”, and “veteran-centric”.
Despite “F them picks” enduring as the lasting moniker, I find that “stars and scrubs” most accurately represents how the Rams were able to accumulate key veterans, stay under the NFL salary cap, and field an overall competent team without glaring weakness. Calling any player on a Super Bowl winning team a “scrub” is not fair. It’s said tongue in cheek.
There is truth to how Los Angeles drafted in volume historically in order to balance out what...

40% of the Los Angeles Rams’ 2024 draft class is no longer with the team:
The Rams made 10 picks total three drafts ago. Braden Fiske is now the top-billed remaining player after the team shipped Verse to the Cleveland Browns in the Myles Garrett trade package. Those who are still on the roster figure to play significant roles in 2026.

Travel back in time about a month ago when the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett. Garrett was formally introduced to L.A. during a press conference and one of the media members said the quiet part out loud for L.A. when they described not winning the upcoming Super Bowl as a “major disappointment”.
Perhaps that’s a take that’s not even quiet.
Said the reporter at the time:
*“Going from a work in progress with this Cleveland team…to coming to this team that is the favorite to win the Super Bowl, and anything less than that would be a major...

Will Kyren Williams become one of the top-100 running backs of all-time? If so, the Rams’ current starter could become the seventh running back in the history of the franchise worthy of that designation. L.A. already has six of the top-75, according to one website.
Windy City Gridiron published a list of the top-100 running backs of all-time, and Marshall Faulk led the Rams’ group by ranking fifth overall.
