Puka Nacua plans to stay with Rams
As Puka Nacua prepares to enter the final season of his rookie contract, the L.A. Rams’ number receiver says that he plans to stay with the team long-term. While under normal circumstances this would seem like a given, the situation around Puka specifically, including Sean McVay having to talk to him about the importance of […]
L.A. Rams News: You can rank the quarterback room however you want
The Los Angeles Rams quarterback room is fascinating in the sense of you have Matthew Stafford and then who? Stetson Bennett? Ty Simpson? Are those young boys ready to play in the NFL right now? I don’t know. As good as Stafford is, we don’t know how well his backups are, and you can rate […]
Predicting Aaron Donald’s snap count
Much is being made in the Aaron Donald news cycle about what type or caliber of player AD will be if he returns. A lot of speculation has been thrown out there that he could return in order to play 10-15 snaps or that he would return only to take a role that he held […]
Aaron Donald’s return would indicate full-time role again
The possibility that Aaron Donald will come out of retirement to help Myles Garrett lead the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl next season first gained steam when Pat McAfee shared a text exchange between himself and the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and ESPN’s host says he “knows” the defensive tackle won’t […]
How an Aaron Donald & Myles Garrett team-up would make Rams history
As soon as Aaron Donald makes his return to the Los Angeles Rams official, team history will be made. There have never been two active Rams defenders with 100 career sacks playing on the same team. A pairing with Myles Garrett would cross that threshold for the first time. Garrett currently ranks 28th in NFL […]
Rams should extend Puka Nacua now, avoid franchise tag
The Los Angeles Rams should extend Puka Nacua as soon as possible, on a deal that would fit today’s receiver market but also keep all of their options open going forward and avoid a costly franchise tag in 2027. Because even in a scenario where the Rams feel Nacua no longer fits into their plans […]
Which Rams have the best chance to reach their first Pro Bowl in 2026?
Every year, Sports Illustrated writer Conor Orr publishes his list of players around the NFL who have a good chance of making the Pro Bowl for the first time. It’s an interesting compilation this year, per usual, and it even features a Los Angeles Ram (more on him shortly). But we’re going to take it […]
L.A. Rams News: Andrew Whitworth would likely come back if he could
Andrew Withworth chimed in on the Aaron Donald news and seemed to imply (or more than imply) he would be back if he were AD’s age. Whitworth is 44, AD is 35. Now, would Whitworth come back if he were Whitworth or is Whitworth saying he’d comeback if he were Donald right now? It’s confusing […]
This could easily be Kyren Williams’ last year with Rams
Enjoy Kyren Williams’ tenure with the Los Angeles Rams because it may not last much longer. Although Williams inked a three-year deal with the team in August 2025, the Rams are only financially committed to the back through this upcoming season. LA could easily cut Williams ahead of 2027 and save $10M against the salary […]
Build the perfect Rams defensive back
The Los Angeles Rams have never been short on star power in the defensive backfield. If you were building the perfect Rams defensive back, where would you begin? Would it start with elite athleticism? Lockdown coverage? Turnover production? Or perhaps with the willingness to step into the box and make a game-changing tackle? The conversation […]
You can argue Seahawks are more successful franchise over Rams
If you look at the histories of the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks, you can make an argument that the Seahawks are the stronger and more successful franchise. Seattle has more overall wins (416-388), and though the Rams have more playoff wins (24-20), it is Seattle who is coming off the most recent […]
The Rams have to stop changing their uniforms every year
The Los Angeles Rams are set to unveil a “brand refresh” next week, marking “the next evolution of the team’s visual identity” as the franchise moves into the second decade of their relocation back to California. What was wrong with the last evolution? The ones that happened in 2016. And 2020. And has included “modern […]
Rams’ worst collapse comes to mind after England’s World Cup choke
Soccer fans witnessed Argentina’s epic 2-1 comeback win over rival England on Wednesday to advance to the World Cup final. Argentina scored its two goals late to secure the victory. In the spirit of collapses, it’s time to look at what might be the Los Angeles Rams’ biggest choke job in franchise history. Earlier this […]
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 […]
