Kevin Dotson is a player that the Los Angeles Rams traded the Pittsburgh Steelers for several years ago, and he’s been solid if not great for the L.A. Rams. If I understand correctly, this is the final year of his contract, so it will be interesting to see if he earns an extension from L.A. […]
Quentin Lake was named a team captain for each of the last two seasons for the Los Angeles Rams. When he speaks from his position of authority, we should listen. Lake joined Underdog Sports’ “The Arena: Gridiron” podcast this week and discussed the vibes around LA’s offseason organized team activities (OTA’s). He also shared his […]
Matthew Stafford recently completed an interview on the Magic Minds Podcast where he spoke about trying not to focus too much on the past or future of his NFL career, but to focus on the present, knowing that any play could be his last of the season (and potentially his career). Said Stafford, “We play […]
When you draft a quarterback with the 13th-overall pick in the NFL draft, you’re directing a large spotlight on yourself. The Los Angeles Rams knew that when they took Ty Simpson out of Alabama with that selection. It’s never easy to make that pick when you already have an established starting quarterback. Some veterans don’t […]
Perennial linebacker Bobby Wagner is back on the market following a two-year stint in Washington, and he’s one player the Los Angeles Rams should steer clear of. Signing Wagner for one last send-off and to offer him a chance at a redo for a bad lone season in Hollywood is not worth it one bit […]
The Los Angeles Rams have built one of the youngest and most intriguing defensive fronts in the NFL but as the 2026 season approaches, one player stands above the rest when it comes to pressure and expectations: Jared Verse. The former Florida State standout entered the NFL with massive hype after the Rams selected him […]
As a fifth round pick, Kyren Williams was not supposed to become this successful and even the Los Angeles Rams could not expect the career he’s had. Fans have seen general manager Les Snead draft so many running backs in the first three rounds that a fifth rounder would have had relatively low expectations starting […]
It’s part of my job these last several years, but even before I wrote for Turf Show Times I was constantly sucking down Los Angeles Rams news (including from this very site), and today’s news I’ll share is that Sean McVay wants the next three “international games” for the Los Angeles Rams to be in, […]
The Los Angeles Rams were at a crossroads to start the 2026 offseason. They could choose between going “all in” and pushing for their second Super Bowl under Sean McVay or they could take a more measured look and attempt to sustain success longer term. This is how I saw the path in front of […]
Rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels is garnering attention from media and the coaching staff during offseason organized team activities (OTA’s). The Los Angeles Rams are crowded at receiver, although they need someone to emerge behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Daniels could grow into that role. It is still very early in the offseason, and […]
Puka Nacua is just another football player this week. The Rams couldn’t ask for anything more. Starting organized training activities in Woodland Hills, the Rams got back to on-field workouts in 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills, meaning that finally Matthew Stafford can start throwing passes to Puka again. In the midst of a tumultuous year […]
Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Kinchens is trending towards earning All-Pro honors in what could be a breakout 2026 campaign. Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus tabbed the third-year defender as one of 10 players who could become first-time All-Pros this season: “What would enable Kinchens to become a true star is more balanced work […]
Over the last two seasons the Los Angeles Rams have mostly spent their top capital in the NFL draft on what are typically considered luxury picks. In 2025 they traded out of the first round and selected TE Terrance Ferguson in the second. Sean McVay recently re-asserted his belief that the Rams would have taken […]
The young core of the Los Angeles Rams has quickly become one of the more intriguing groups in the NFL, and 2026 could be the season where several ascending players fully arrive on the national stage. The Rams have consistently leaned on draft development under head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead, and […]
Trade rumors are supposed to be fun, but they can get very serious and some can be rather heated, so allow me to present to you the idea of the Los Angeles Rams making a trade with the New York Giants for Kayvon Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux is an incredibly talented former top pick, but if the […]
The Los Angeles Rams have already taken care of part of their 2026 rookie class, but three members of the draft haul still remain unsigned as the organization continues to work through rookie contract negotiations ahead of the summer. While rookie deals are largely slotted under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, offset language, payment structure, […]
The Philadelphia Eagles have a new offensive coordinator who is expected to run a Sean McVay-style offense and star Saquon Barkley wants to be as prepared as possible for Week 1, so he’s reaching out to former Rams running backs for advice. Namely, former Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley. Barkley was asked about […]
Jordan Whittington is perfect for the role of being Matthew Stafford’s third option in the Rams’ offensive scheme, and there is definitely a need for one who also knows how to lay a clean block. Even if Sean McVay goes as advertised, with 50% of his offensive snaps in 13 personnel, that still leaves 30-40% […]
Many in the NFL media and fan landscape interpreted Matthew Stafford’s recent contract extension as a sign he plans to return in 2027. While the infrastructure is now built out from salary cap and contractural standpoints, Stafford is still not guaranteed to be on the roster after this season. Sean McVay and the Rams have […]
Max Klare was taken by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round of the latest NFL Draft as they’ve continued to try and add to their tight end room. The talk of the Rams and their 2026 draft has rightfully revolved around them taking Ty Simpson, but Klare could wind up being the more […]
The Los Angeles Rams’ two biggest moves of the offseason, trading for Trent McDuffie and drafting Ty Simpson, are a continuation of general manager Les Snead’s “F them picks” mentality. Even if Simpson is only the second player drafted in the first round by the Rams in the last 10 years, he represents the “F […]
It has been mildly surprising that so far this offseason the Los Angeles Rams have not made a splash at receiver despite a visible need behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In some ways this decision—that is subject to change leading into training camp or ahead of the NFL trade deadline—reminds me of the team’s […]
Ty Simpson is going into his rookie NFL season thinking he has an advantage as he’ll be able to directly learn from players like Matthew Stafford and Davantae Adams. It’s good that Simpson feels he’ll have support and the ability to learn from established stars and coaches, but at some point, he’ll likely have to […]
The Philadelphia Eagles have been the Los Angeles Rams’ kryptonite since Sean McVay arrived in Los Angeles. With both teams set to face each other for the fourth straight season, L.A. must figure out a way to get past their nemesis in 2026 or risk falling short in the conference yet again. Under McVay, the […]
The Los Angeles Rams rarely operate like a franchise content with standing still. Every offseason under head coach Sean McVay brings aggressive roster moves, calculated risks, and a belief that the organization can compete with anyone when healthy. After reshaping parts of the roster again this offseason, expectations are rising entering training camp. The Rams […]
