Ty Simpson Ty Simpson Agrees to rookie contract
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 1:42 PM
Simpson agreed to terms on a four-year, $25.4 million rookie contract with the Rams on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Simpson's contract comes with a $14.9 million signing bonus and a fifth-year option. He was selected by the Rams with the 13th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft as the apparent franchise successor to reigning MVP Matthew Stafford. Simpson isn't guaranteed the backup job and will compete against Stetson Bennett for that job in training camp. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Competing for depth spot
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 6:46 PM
Entering his third NFL season, Whittington will enter training camp competing for the Rams' WR3 role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A sixth-round pick of the Rams in the 2024 NFL Draft, Whittington saw his snap count on offense increase from his rookie year to his sophomore campaign. Despite the bump in playing time, that didn't result in increased production for Whittington, who finished the 2025 regular season with 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 171 yards across 17 games. His proficiency on special teams and as a blocker will keep him on the field, but training camp will provide Whittington with the opportunity to beat out Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels and Tyler Scott for the WR3 job behind the dynamic duo of Nacua and Adams. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Entering final year of rookie deal
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 10:16 AM
Nacua is heading into the final season of his rookie contract, and the 2023 fifth-round pick is a candidate to get the franchise tag from the Rams for the 2027 campaign if a long-term deal isn't worked out before then, Brock Vierra of USA Today Rams Wire reports.
Analysis: Nacua has delivered elite production since entering the NFL, racking up 4,191 receiving yards through three regular seasons with the Rams, but some off-field concerns could be giving the Rams pause about extending the star wide receiver long-term. With the team in win-now mode in the twilight of 38-year-old quarterback Matthew Stafford's career, Nacua is poised to remain a key contributor for the Rams in 2026, even if the two sides don't work out an extension prior to the start of the season. |

Won't face felony charges
Mon, Jul 13, 2026, 4:07 PM
Jackson won't face felony charges in connection with his arrest on a domestic violence charge in June, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson's case has been assigned for a pre-filing diversion available to eligible individuals that is an alternative to misdemeanor criminal prosecution. The Rams' left tackle could still be subject to discipline by the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy. Charges have not been filed against Jackson at this time, but his case will stay open throughout the length of the statute of limitations and can be evaluated again based on any new developments, per Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokesperson Ivor Pine. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Leads deep TE corps
Thu, Jul 9, 2026, 11:08 AM
As the regular season approaches, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today notes that Parkinson is expected to remain the Rams' No. 1 tight end.
Analysis: During the 2025 regular season, Parkinson made his mark by catching 43 of his 56 targets for 408 yards and eight TDs in 15 contests. Though Los Angeles' current TE room is crowded, with Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Max Klare and Davis Allen also in the mix, DaSilva relays that Parkinson should be the Rams' primary inline tight end once again and will almost always be on the field when the team deploys TE-heavy sets. In that context, the 27-year-old retains a modest degree of fantasy utility in a passing attack that continues to feature high-volume WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, in particular if Parkinson retains a key red-zone role in 2026. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Primed for key role again
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 12:53 PM
Corum remains positioned atop the running back depth chart alongside starter Kyren Williams following the Rams' offseason program, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Corum, a 2024 third-round pick, did little as a rookie but carved out a notable role in 2025. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games last year, Corum rushed 145 times for 746 yards and six touchdowns. He remained a limited contributor as a receiver, however, totaling just eight catches for 36 yards. Corum is arguably the most explosive runner in Los Angeles' backfield, but Williams remains entrenched as the lead option due to his three-down skill set. Even in a complementary role, Corum projects to remain productive and would carry significant upside if an opportunity for a larger workload emerged. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Set to combine with Corum again
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 12:17 PM
Following the Rams' offseason program, Williams and Blake Corum remain atop the RB depth chart, as was the case last season, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: During the 2025 regular season, Williams carried 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 rushing TDs, while adding 36 catches for 281 yards and three receiving scores in 17 games. In that same span, Corum rushed for 746 yards (on 145 carries) and six TDs and caught eight passes for 36 yards in his second campaign as a pro. Looking ahead, that 1-2 punch, which paced the league's No. 7 rushing attack last season, is intact for 2026, which sets Williams up for another year of fantasy utility. Beyond the Rams' top duo, Ronnie Rivers is back as the team's RB3, while Jarquez Hunter, Jordan Waters and Dean Connors round out the backfield depth chart ahead of training camp. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Set to combine with Nacua again
Tue, Jun 23, 2026, 9:20 PM
While Puka Nacua and Adams remain entrenched atop the Rams' WR depth chart, Blaine Grisak of Sports Illustrated relays that slotting behind the top duo is up for grabs.
Analysis: As Cameron DaSilva of usatoday.com notes, the Rams approach the coming season with reigning NFL MVP (QB Matthew Stafford) set to continue working with the quality WR duo of Nacua, who led the league in receiving yards per game (107.2 ) and Adams, who caught the most TD (14) passes of any player in 2025. Per Grisak, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith are in line to compete for the Rams' WR3 job this summer, with Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels also vying for slotting. While the team reportedly mulled the possibility of moving Adams earlier this offseason, the veteran wideout was retained, and the 33-year-old thus figures to remain busy in 2026, operating in what should be a top-heavy Los Angeles passing attack. |

Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 8:45 PM
The Rams signed Fox on Tuesday.
Analysis: Fox has spent the last four seasons in New York but is now headed to Los Angeles. The 28-year-old has totaled 45 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, throughout his career and will look to earn a depth role on the Rams' 53-man roster for the upcoming campaign. |

Arrested early Tuesday
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 6:15 PM
Jackson was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of felony domestic violence, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Jackson was subsequently released from custody after posting $50,000 bond, with the left tackle's next court date scheduled for June 30. In a statement regarding the matter, the Rams said "we are aware of the incident regarding Alaric Jackson, and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time." Jackson signed a three-year, $57 million contact with Los Angeles during the 2025 offseason. |

Gets sent to IR
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:44 PM
The Rams placed Walls (undisclosed) on their injured reserve list Thursday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Walls went down with an injury during OTAs and was carted off the practice field, and now he'll have to sit out the rest of the year unless he works out an injury settlement with the team. His departure may mean that fellow undrafted rookie Wesley Bailey gets more practice reps on the edge. |

Gets placed on IR
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:40 PM
The Rams placed Lindberg (undisclosed) on their injured reserve list Thursday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina is now in line to miss the entire 2026 season unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the club. His absence could free up more opportunities at practice for former Tar Heel teammate Austin Blaske. |

Restructures contract
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 2:24 PM
Garrett is restructuring his contract with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It sounds like there won't be much difference from Garrett's perspective, as most of the changes are intended to help the Rams with cap flexibility. He's entering the second season of a five-year, $204 million extension, coming off a 2025 campaign in which he somehow broke the single-season record for sacks (23.0) while playing for a five-win team. Garrett's new team came a few plays shy of the Super Bowl last season and now boasts arguably the strongest roster in the league. |

Being dealt to Rams
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 1:33 PM
The Browns agreed to trade Garrett to the Rams on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Garrett will bolster a win-now Rams team, while the rebuilding Browns get back Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and a 2029 third-round pick. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year set the league record with 23.0 sacks in the 2025 regular season, and he should have even more opportunities to rush the passer on a Rams team that's expected to play with the lead much more often than the Browns have in recent years. |

Linked to pending blockbuster trade
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 12:41 PM
Verse is expected to be dealt to the Browns as part of a trade the Rams are finalizing to acquire Myles Garrett, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Verse, who has begun his NFL career with back-to-back Pro Bowls, appears slated to head to Cleveland alongside a 2027 first-round pick and further draft compensation in exchange for Garrett, a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The 25-year-old tallied 7.5 tackles across 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025 and will become the pillar of the Browns' pass rush in Garrett's stead, though Verse's immediate prospects in terms of productivity will figure to take a hit if he's no longer paired alongside Byron Young. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Inks massive contract extension
Thu, May 21, 2026, 6:34 PM
Stafford and the Rams agreed on a one-year, $55 million contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Stafford was set to enter the 2026 campaign in the final year of his two-year, $84 million contract that he signed with Los Angeles ahead of the 2025 season, but he will now be under contract through 2027. The 38-year-old is coming off of an MVP campaign in which he compiled 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns while completing 65 percent of his passes over 17 regular-season contests. His new deal is worth up to $60 million dollars, so Stafford could now earn up to $105 million over the next two seasons. The Rams drafted the quarterback's successor in Ty Simpson 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Simpson may now get a chance to sit behind Stafford for multiple years. |

Rohan Jones Rohan Jones Joins Rams
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:35 PM
The Rams signed Jones as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Jones finished his collegiate career with 80 catches for 1,352 yards and 20 touchdowns. While he will likely face an uphill battle to make the team's final roster, he could be candidate to land on the practice squad. |

Dean Connors Dean Connors Headed to LA
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:30 PM
The Rams signed Connors as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Connors began his career at junior college before rushing for 977 yards and six touchdowns on 77 carries during the 2025 season while at Houston. With the Rams lacking proven talent at running back behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, Connors could have a chance to earn a on the final roster. |

Matthew Caldwell Matthew Caldwell Joining Rams
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:25 PM
The Rams signed Caldwell as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Caldwell is headed to Los Angeles after spending his collegiate career with four schools across five years. The 6-foot-4 quarterback spent the 2025 campaign with Texas, completing just eight of his 11 pass attempts for 85 yards and a touchdown. He could be a candidate to land on the Rams' practice squad. |

Selected by Rams
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:18 PM
The Rams selected Keenan in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 232nd overall.
Analysis: Keenan spent all five years of his college career in Alabama, serving as a full-time starter at nose tackle from 2023 to 2025. His most productive season came in 2024, when he posted 40 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 13 games, which was in stark contrast to the numbers he put up in 2025 (16 total tackles over 12 games). Keenan is on the shorter side at 6-foot-1 but is hard to move at 327 pounds. That size, coupled with instinctual play and refined hands, means he can be effective in clogging up the run lanes at the NFL level. Poona Ford should be the Rams' starting nose tackle in 2026, so Keenan's main competition for rotational snaps will come from 2025 fifth-rounder Ty Hamilton. |
