Stetson Bennett opens training camp with Rams’ 1s

As expected, the Los Angeles Rams are giving starting quarterback Matthew Stafford a rest day every other day, and Sean McVay will give Stetson Bennett more opportunities than he’s ever had to feel like a starter.

L.A. Rams News: Deebo Samuel would be a wild add

If the Los Angeles Rams added Deebo Samuel that would be wild given the fact that there has never been much love between the Rams and Samuel.

Rams should sign Joey Bosa, if not Aaron Donald

The Los Angeles Rams have effectively gone all-in this offseason with their defensive additions, with a possible Aaron Donald reunion in tow.

The Los Angeles Rams were ranked last in having talent under the age of 25 by Aaron Schatz for ESPN, and when you look at the methodology he used, that’s fair. However, I’m not really sure what he’s trying to say with those rankings. But should the Rams fans be concerned by this apparent lack […]
