Can these two UDFAs make an impact for the Rams in 2026?

While the Los Angeles Rams made free agency a priority in upgrading the 2026 defense, they did not invest much draft capital to that end. Of 12 rookie additions to the defensive side of the ball, 11 were undrafted free agents (UDFA) and the only draftee was Round 7 nose tackle Tim Keenan. The final […]

RAMalytics: How 7th rounder Tim Keenan fits with Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have enjoyed success selecting defensive linemen late in the draft. Is 2026 seventh rounder Tim Keenan from Alabama the next in line? Keenan could be the next late selection to defy the odds. It’s not difficult to see his path to playing time in Los Angeles. While the Rams have not […]

Rob Havenstein reveals a top compliment he and Rams o-line ever got

The newly retired Rob Havenstein was on Bleav in Rams with Erin Coscarelli and Brian Baldinger when Havenstein recalled an opposing player who expressed after a contest that L.A.’s line “all played well together”. Havenstein went on to reflect it was one of the best compliments he and his fellow Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman […]

Despite Simpson, Stafford playing more years could be good for Rams

I’ll concede Matthew Stafford playing through Ty Simpson’s rookie deal may be less than ideal…there’s also the chance that Stafford continues to be the best option for the Rams as they go forward. Stafford earns every year he starts Sean McVay has shown a willingness to move on from players who aren’t performing, that includes […]

L.A. Rams News: Players are available

Yesterday I wrote about Kenny Moore being available to the Los Angeles Rams, and more players are available today. Months from now, more players available. You cannot make this up. Anyone you want to see join the Rams? Just wait because more players will be possible. Or name a player and post them in the […]

NFL, referees reach new 7-year deal

The NFL avoided a major offseason distraction today after the league and the NFL Referees Association agreed to a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement that secures labor peace through the 2032 season.

Every NFL draft season brings excitement, optimism, and one tradition that football fans cannot resist — rookie comparisons. From Hall of Fame projections to stylistic similarities, analysts and fans spend months searching for the perfect NFL counterpart for incoming prospects. The Los Angeles Rams grabbed five prospects in the 2026 draft and fans are dying […]

Fact or fiction: Trent McDuffie’s best position is inside

Before turning heads at the NFL draft by taking quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th-overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams made one of the biggest moves of the offseason in early March, sending the 29th-overall pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for cornerback Trent McDuffie. The TST staff has already broken down a lot about […]

L.A. Rams News: Kenny Moore is available

NFL teams are constantly trimming rosters and a recent player released was Kenny Moore of the Indianapolis Colts. He’s had some strong years if my memory is correct, but the Colts likely didn’t think his value was matching his play, so they cut him. Now, other teams can make a move for player, who knows? […]

The Rams’ plan for Ty Simpson is not new

People are getting it wrong on the Los Angeles Rams, Ty Simpson, and Matthew Stafford. Partly this is because LA’s selection of Simpson with the 13th overall selection in last month’s NFL Draft was unexpected and jarring to many fans of the team. But NFL history is littered with examples of franchises futureproofing football’s most […]

The Rams cannot start Ty Simpson until he is ready

There is one certainty after the Los Angeles Rams’ 2026 NFL Draft: Ty Simpson is the future at quarterback. When exactly the future starts is entirely uncertain. Matthew Stafford is the face of the franchise for at least the upcoming season. Stafford could return in 2027 and even beyond. But the Rams must hold one […]

Rams fans can watch their team’s Week 1 game against the 49ers on the same service that brought them Squid Game and Love is Blind: Netflix. According to the AP, someone with knowledge of the scheduling has reported to them that Netflix will air L.A.’s week 1 matchup against San Francisco from Melbourne, Australia on […]

NFL must give must-watch Rams most primetime games in 2026

The NFL schedule release will take place sometime this month, and the Los Angeles Rams should be in primetime plenty this season. With the Rams established as a heavy Super Bowl favorite, they should be given the most primetime games in 2026. That shouldn’t be much to ask from the league, even if the defending […]

Vikings request GM interview for Rams’ John McKay

The Minnesota Vikings are casting a wide net in their search for a new general manager, and one of the more intriguing names connected to the opening is John McKay of the Los Angeles Rams. According to multiple reports this week, the Vikings have requested permission to interview McKay as they begin the process of […]

If Justin Jefferson hits the trade block, the Rams must act

The idea of Justin Jefferson ever becoming available on the trade market feels almost impossible on the surface. Franchise receivers in their prime rarely get moved, especially one who has already established himself as arguably the NFL’s best route-runner and most dangerous offensive weapon. Yet every NFL season produces at least one blockbuster surprise, and […]

The 2024 draft could flood the wide receiver market soon

It’s not just Keon Coleman. The 2024 wide receiver draft class is rounding into form as one of the worst in NFL history relative to the expectation teams had of them as prospects. From Marvin Harrison at fourth overall to zero actual “steals” so far out of 28 receivers drafted on days 2 and 3, […]

L.A. Rams News: The top offense going into 2026?

Who is the best offense right now going into the 2026 season? Is it the Los Angeles Rams? Of course, this is such an early prediction, much will change between now and Week 1, but as it stands, who has the best offense in May? I think the Rams are a fair choice, but it’s […]

How much would it cost Rams to keep OL together long-term?

The Rams only drafted one offensive linemen in 2026, using a third round pick on Keagan Trost, a player who L.A. might have liked because it’s not clear yet if he will be a better fit at tackle or guard. When you look at the upcoming free agents on the Rams offensive line — four […]

Jared Verse backs Ty Simpson pick as ‘perfect situation’

The Los Angeles Rams’ Ty Simpson selection created quite a stir in the NFL world, but star Jared Verse approves of the pick. Verse went as far as to say that Simpson is “in the perfect situation,” learning from Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. The two-time Pro Bowler shared his thoughts on the rookie quarterback […]

Rams UDFA edge additions face an uphill battle

With two starters and the primary backup returning to the 2026 edge unit, the Los Angeles Rams appear in good hands for another season. Thus, L.A. decided to forego free agency and draft additions, instead signing three undrafted rookies. Eddie Walls, Darryl Peterson, and Wesley Bailey. However, many fans opined that the Rams needed depth […]

Is Kliff Kingsbury the next Rams head coach after Sean McVay?

The Los Angeles Rams have built one of the NFL’s most stable and forward-thinking organizations under head coach Sean McVay, but even the most successful tenures eventually raise one unavoidable question: what comes next? While McVay has shown no immediate signs of stepping away, the Rams appear to be quietly positioning themselves for the future—and […]

L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse reflected on his time Copper Kupp

Cooper Kupp left an impact on the Los Angeles Rams, their fans and their players, and Jared Verse seemingly recently spoke about how he really hasn’t kept up with Kupp since their time together in L.A., but he reflected that he had much respect for Kupp. You can see the quote below and it makes […]

The Rams need more out of Braden Fiske in year three

If the Los Angeles Rams are going to make good on their Super Bowl expectations this season, one player that can take a step forward to help his team is Braden Fiske. LA moved into the early portion of the second round to select Fiske in 2024. They sent a 2025 second round selection to […]

Power ranking the NFC conference post-draft

For years, the NFC Conference of the National Football League has been one of the most competitive, featuring 9 different franchises over the last 15 years. For comparative sake, the AFC Conference has only sent 6 different franchises. With that being said, there seems to be a consensus top 3. Then the rest is a […]
