Aaron Donald timeline of events
Few storylines have generated as much discussion as the possibility of Aaron Donald returning to the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. Whether it’s Sean McVay leaving the door open, teammates being asked about the rumors, or analysts debating what a reunion could mean for Los Angeles’ Super Bowl aspirations, Donald’s name has remained at the […]
As receiver contracts soar, Rams must keep open options with Puka Nacua
As the L.A. Rams evaluate their options regarding Puka Nacua and a possible contract extension, the question is not necessarily how much a number one receiver costs these days, but whether the value meets the price. In many recent cases, it hasn’t. So the Rams must think twice before paying Nacua top dollar. The highest-paid […]
Big changes in the Rams cornerback room
Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead approached the 2026 free agency period with a mandate, repair a porous cornerback room. Obviously, he coveted what they had in Kansas City and poached both their starters. First was the blockbuster trade and contract for Trent McDuffie and following on its heels was the free agency signing […]
One big advantage Blake Corum has over Kyren Williams
The 2026 backfield of the Los Angeles Rams could easily be the most split we’ve seen in the Sean McVay era: Season Primary Running Back Share of Total RB Carries 2017 Todd Gurley 78% 2018 Todd Gurley 69% 2019 Todd Gurley 75% 2023 Kyren Williams 73% 2024 Kyren Williams 76% 2025 Kyren Williams 54% Kyren […]
L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse doesn’t believe Aaron Donald unretires (unless)
Jared Verse was perhaps unfairly (or fairly?) asked about the potential unretirement of Aaron Donald, and Verse basically said that he doesn’t believe Donald will unretire, unless Donald unretires. Sometimes the simple answers are the best. Verse is right. Aaron Donald isn’t going to unretire unless Aaron Donald unretires. Until a decision is made, it’s […]
Winning 17 games? Well, there’s a chance.
Much has been made of the Los Angeles Rams earning the title of preseason Super Bowl favorites. While the distinguishment is meaningless until LA proves its credentials on the field, this is an acknowledgement of an impressive offseason on the heels of a NFC Championship berth. Winning the Super Bowl is the apple of everyone’s […]
Ty Simpson’s preseason could be a Sean McVay first
Since early in his career as the L.A. Rams head coach, Sean McVay has gradually pulled starters, then key backups, out of having any snaps during the preseason. This would lead fans to believe that Ty Simpson, arguably the most important rookie draft pick of McVay’s tenure, will sit out most, if not all, of […]
Don’t be surprised if Keagen Trost earns playing time in 2026
Among the Los Angeles Rams’ many offensive stars, don’t be surprised if a rookie takes some of the spotlight from them. Especially don’t be shocked if that first-year player sees the field at some point this season. Los Angeles took offensive tackle Keagen Trost with the No. 93 pick in the third round of the […]
Build a Rams defense on a $15 budget
Every NFL fan loves a good roster-building exercise, but this one comes with a twist. Imagine you’re tasked with constructing the ultimate Los Angeles Rams offense using only $15. Sounds easy until you realize that some of the greatest players in franchise history come with premium price tags. If you didn’t participate in last week’s […]
Rams announce date for alternate jersey release
On July 23, the Rams are scheduled to unveil two brand-new alternate uniforms during a special event exclusively for Season Ticket Members. The organization has promoted the evening as part of its annual Rams Revealed Live event, where fans will hear from players and team executives while getting the first look at the club’s newest […]
Matthew Stafford is having one of the best second acts in NFL history
When the Los Angeles Rams sent Jared Goff (and three draft picks) to the Detroit Lions in exchange for Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay and company thought they were acquiring the missing piece for their championship dreams. Not only were they right, but Stafford almost certainly surpassed their loftiest hopes. By leading the Rams to a […]
L.A. Rams News: Will Aaron Donald find the ‘passion’ to play again?
When Aaron Donald retired from the NFL and the Los Angeles Rams, Donald expressed that he felt full, complete and finished with his playing career. Flash forward a few years later and AD is thinking that he either has something left in the tank worth putting on the field, and or he feels he can […]
Build the perfect Rams edge rusher
When fans think about the greatest pass rushers in Los Angeles Rams history, several names immediately come to mind. Every era has featured edge defenders who brought something different to the field. Some overwhelmed offensive tackles with rare explosiveness, while others relied on refined technique, relentless power, or an endless arsenal of pass-rush moves. Today’s […]
What could trip up Sean McVay’s Rams offense?
The Los Angeles Rams had so much success with 12 and 13 personnel in 2025 that in many ways Sean McVay once again revolutionized the NFL and set trends for the following season. That was good for last season, but could it really work for McVay’s Rams next season, now that the league knows what […]
Rams urged to trade for DeMario Douglas; should they?
The Los Angeles Rams need a third receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and a potential trade target could be waiting for them on the East Coast. Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton said L.A. should consider trading for Patriots receiver DeMario Douglas, if New England doesn’t deal wideout Kayshon Boutte this summer. “The Rams have […]
L.A. Rams News: 49ers with the better offense?
The Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are all expected to compete for a postseason spot this year. Which team will be the best out of those three? A fair question. Depending on who you ask, you can likely make an argument for each team being the best. Do I think the […]
Will Jarquez Hunter find a role in 2026?
This spring the Los Angeles Rams snapped a nine-year streak of drafting running backs. On the surface that seems like a good news and an endorsement for second-year back Jarquez Hunter, who effectively took a redshirt year as a rookie. The bad news for Hunter is that Ronnie Rivers slotted ahead of him on the […]
Aaron Donald inches closer to Rams return
Aaron Donald has not told the Rams yet that he wants to return to the NFL, but the three-time Defensive Player of the Year did go to the team facility to workout last week with the intention of seeing how it would feel. This is according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who told the Pat McAfee […]
Matthew Stafford not ranked as #1 quarterback
Matthew Stafford is the reigning MVP, but not the NFL’s best quarterback, at least in the eyes of the league personnel who was polled by ESPN. In a top 10 ranking posted by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Stafford ranked as the third-best quarterback behind Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Stafford’s MVP campaign vaulted him into the […]
Will it be the “Running Rams” in 2026?
While most of the hoopla around Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is about being a quarterback whisperer and wide open offense guru, he doesn’t stray that far from traditional offensive football values. Over his nine seasons, the Rams have only been within the NFL’s Top 12 in pass play percentage once, 8th in […]
Power ranking my 5 favorite articles from 5 years at TST
With some time before the Los Angeles Rams training camp begins, I’ve noticed myself in a reflective mood lately. Part of that can be attributed to ongoing life changes, and remembering that this week marks five years since I started writing for Turf Show Times. That can’t be right — has it really been five […]
L.A. Rams News: Training with the enemy
Cooper Kupp and his Seattle Seahawks are coming off a Super Bowl win, and apparently, he’s in Los Angeles training with Puka Nacua. It’s cool to see the former Los Angeles Rams’ teammates still working together, despite being on separate teams. Who knows what the future holds? Perhaps someday they’ll be on the same team […]
Does Ty Simpson have potential to surpass Matthew Stafford?
The Los Angeles Rams must feel pretty good about the success of their monumental 2021 trade that swapped Jared Goff and a cache of picks for Matthew Stafford. The move resulted in a Super Bowl championship at the team’s home in SoFi Stadium. Years later Stafford is finding new heights in his career. He just […]
Opinions split around the NFL about the Rams offensive line
If you love to talk about offensive line play, it’s been a banner week of NFL content for you. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is publishing his annual lists of the top 10 players at each position in the NFL, as voted on by coaches, scouts and front-office personnel. That includes the lists of best tackles and […]
The Rams have a free agent problem
While every general manager would like to have the type of draft that Les Snead experienced in both 2023 and 2024, it comes with a high price tag four years down the road. After enjoying some very stellar play at the discounted prices that go hand in hand with rookie contracts, it’s time to start […]
