Kobie Turner or Byron Young: Who is the extension priority?

When the Rams were forced to face the music of Aaron Donald’s retirement a couple years ago, the last thing any fan would have expected was saying that a drafted player with 12 sacks was not a priority to keep. That seems to be what is happening with Rams edge rusher Byron Young, seemingly no […]

How well could Deebo Samuel fit into Rams offense?

Deebo Samuel was once the enemy, but as a free agent could the receiver be a good complement to the styles of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in the Rams offense next season?

It wasn’t the splashiest move made last year, but the Los Angeles Rams did make a swing for cornerback help when they traded the Tennessee Titans for Roger McCreary.

The second of those two-point conversions became a topic of controversy as Zach […]

What would Steve Avila extension cost Rams?

When the Rams ultimately stood pat and drafted Steve Avila with the 36th pick in 2023, it surprisingly made him L.A.’s highest draft selection since Jared Goff going first overall in 2016.

The bread and butter of Les Snead and the Los Angeles Rams in terms of roster building has focused on exploiting certain market inefficiencies: Which inefficiency will the Rams identify and exploit next?

So, according to draft analyst Daniel Jerimiah, Omar Cooper will be the “Ramsiest” wide receiver in the upcoming NFL draft. Does that mean the Los Angeles Rams will take him? Not at all, but Cooper could be a name to keep an eye on. It’s Saturday, I have no grand revelations, but I hope you’ll […]

However, looking at the draft, teams shouldn’t necessarily be drafting for the immediate. Free agency and the trade market are there to […]

Can Puka Nacua balance celebrity with stardom?
