Rams, full league expected at Brendan Sorsby’s pro day

Arguably the biggest story of the offseason across all levels of football is about an ineligible college quarterback with spotty amateur credentials who may or may not become the first NFL supplemental draft pick in seven years. And, apparently, the whole NFL is at least considering getting in on the action. According to Pete Thamel, […]

Can this be the Rams’ best statistical defense since 2020?

The Los Angeles Rams have invested plenty of resources to revamp their defense this offseason. Now the question is whether the additions of Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson can finish as the best statistical defense of the Sean McVay era in 2026. During the McVay era, Los Angeles has fielded some quality, though […]

Tournament of Rampions: Who gets the edge?

Can you build the perfect Rams running back

The Rams have had one of the richest histories at running back in NFL history. Power backs. Home-run hitters. Elite receiving threats. Violent finishers. Patient zone runners. No single back had absolutely everything—but if you combine the best traits across generations, you may end up with the greatest running back ever created. We want to […]

Lingering questions: Goodbye, 11 personnel?

Nearly everyone expected the Los Angeles Rams and Sean McVay to add another receiver this offseason behind Puka Nacua and late-career Davante Adams. Materially speaking, they did not. That’s not to say that LA didn’t have a chance to add another starting-level receiver. They instead opted not to. The Rams could have targeted a mid-tier […]

Rams can’t afford to overlook 49ers in Super Bowl chase

Since trading for Myles Garrett earlier this month, the Los Angeles Rams have been the talk of the NFL offseason. However, the Rams’ hated rival, the San Francisco 49ers, are being somewhat overlooked, which could potentially threaten L.A.’s Super Bowl hopes in 2026. It’s easy to overlook the Whiners right now, as they were the […]

L.A. Rams News: Are they the top offense in June?

Take it with a grain of salt in June, but the great Rich Eisen states that the Los Angeles Rams have the top offense heading into the 2026 season. Do you agree with that? I think whereas it’s fair to give the Rams the top spot, it’s only June. Now, do the Rams have all […]

Lingering questions: How will Rams deploy new CB Trent McDuffie?

It’s no secret that I was skeptical of the Los Angeles Rams trading for Trent McDuffie in the days before the move was reported. On this very site I penned a post titled “McDuffie is a slot merchant and doesn’t make sense for Rams”. I came around to the move when the Rams continued their […]

Which Rams’ Kam is the most important safety?

The Los Angeles Rams built a secondary that doesn’t just play similarly, they have almost the same names. Safeties Kam Curl and Kam Kinchens both came to the team in 2024, one through free agency and the other through the draft, and both have made a significant mark on the defense. Who is more important […]

Is Colby Parkinson or Tyler Higbee more important?

The Los Angeles Rams have several positions in which the depth chart and the starter could change frequently through the next six months. Perhaps none more obvious than tight end, where at least five names seem worthy of making the roster, and a couple more would like to push for a spot in training camp. […]

Get ready to see a lot of Stetson Bennett in training camp

Matthew Stafford missed the entirety of training camp and multiple ensuing weeks of practice last season and then went on to win the NFL’s MVP award and lead his team to the NFC Championship game. The Los Angeles Rams seem to be drawing one conclusion from last year’s back injury scare: Stafford does not need […]

The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2026 offseason in an enviable financial position. According to OverTheCap, the Rams possess the seventh-best salary cap restructure potential in the NFL, with approximately $62.7 million available through contract restructures. On the surface, that kind of flexibility appears to provide general manager Les Snead with plenty of options to […]

Build your perfect Rams quarterback

The Los Angeles Rams have been blessed with some of the most talented quarterbacks in NFL history. From big-armed gunslingers to surgical passers and clutch postseason heroes, every era has featured a quarterback who excelled in a particular area. But what if you could combine the best traits from multiple Rams signal-callers and build the […]

L.A. Rams News: Training camp is coming

The Los Angeles Rams completed their organized team activities when Sean McVay dimissed the team earlier than expected. Training camp will be next. We’re already halfway through June as we continue to hurl our way towards another NFL season. Training camp should be something to look forward to, but for me, I just want to […]

Jared Verse not done with Seahawks rivalry

Jared Verse’s final words to his former Rams teammates? “Beat the Seahawks.” In an interview with Browns media last week, Verse said that his last message after he was traded to Cleveland was that he wanted his old teammates to beat Seattle at every opportunity. You can trade the man out of the rivalry, but […]

Puka Nacua probably won’t break Calvin Johnson’s record

Pro Football Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson heaped the praise on Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua this week, believing the star wideout could break his single-season receiving record. While the praise is completely warranted, Nacua is unlikely to break Johnson’s mark. Johnson made the proclamation during an interview with Dave Birkett of the Detroit […]

Lingering questions: Myles Garrett trade signals schematic shift

Casual observers will look at the landscape of the Los Angeles Rams’ defense after gaining Myles Garrett and trading away Jared Verse and ask, “how much better did they actually get?” The changes to the Rams’ defensive schemes under Chris Shula on the front with Garrett will be substantial. The team is also signaling a […]

L.A. Rams News: You want to see them take the chance?

Let’s concede the Los Angeles Rams cannot actually draft Brendan Sorsby in the upcoming NFL Supplemental Draft, and forget about that and instead ask: Would you want the Rams to take a chance on Sorsby? Would this all even be as a big a news story if Sorsby wasn’t an interesting quarterback prospect? That being […]

Lingering questions: The disconnect between Stafford and Ferguson

The Los Angeles Rams dramatically improved over the offseason after earning a trip to the NFC Championship game last year.
