The Arizona Cardinals own the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s NFL Draft, but for a second, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay made Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury think he had lost it. While at dinner with Kingsbury and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whom Kingsbury coached at Texas Tech, McVay […]

Sean McVay has become the most talked about head coach in the NFL in the past couple of seasons. This is due to him turning around the Los Angeles Rams franchise rather quickly. Recently, McVay was asked about how relationships work between the head coach and front office at the NFL owner’s meetings. Here’s an excerpt […]

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor feels like he learned a lot from his experience with the Los Angeles Rams. Taylor left the Rams this offseason to take over as the new coach in Cincinnati, and he’ll try to instill the same things that worked in Los Angeles in his new role. Of course, that […]

With Le’Veon Bell now officially out of Pittsburgh, James Conner can comfortably take over as the Steelers’ featured running back, and he is working hard to make sure he is ready to assume the role. Conner has been in the gym with his good friend, Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald, as he prepares […]

The Los Angeles Rams have had a quieter offseason than last year’s, but they’ve still added key pieces to their defense. Last offseason, the Rams broke the NFL news cycle by trading for Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, while also signing Ndamukong Suh. Fast forward to now, and the Rams are likely to be moving […]

The Los Angeles Rams have made a concerted effort to improve their defense this offseason, signing veterans like safety Eric Weddle and linebacker Clay Matthews.

Derek Ciapala and Josh Kollack sit down with Nevada draft prospect Malik Reed to discuss his future in the NFL. The guys also address the NFL’s rule changes involving pass interference and how many fans down south are unable to let go of the Los Angeles Rams’ 26-23 win in the NFC Championship Game. Finally, […]

Last offseason, the Los Angeles Rams made a splash move to acquire Marcus Peters via trade. The confident cornerback was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Rams for a 2018 fourth-round pick and the Rams’ second-round selection in 2019. Many were surprised at the small return that the Chiefs received for Peters. But […]

Ndamukong Suh wasn’t the impact player the Los Angeles Rams expected him to be last season. Whether or not they will miss the talented, inconsistent defensive tackle going forward, though, still remains to be seen. Los Angeles general manager Les Snead all but officially confirmed Suh’s departure on Tuesday, calling his potential return to the […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks was interfered with in Super Bowl LIII, according to the NFL Competition Committee. NFL’s Competition Committee also admitted the Brandin Cooks play at the end of this year’s Super Bowl would have been ruled pass interference, giving the Rams the ball at 1-yard line, per source. — Adam […]

The Los Angeles Rams just had their most successful season in nearly 20 years. They made it all the way to the Super Bowl and were on the verge of winning a championship. But despite the success they’ve had the past couple of seasons, they’re in no rush to lock up their franchise quarterback, Jared […]

Marcus Peters had an up-and-down season during his first year with the Los Angeles Rams, but he produced enough for Rams head coach Sean McVay to want to sign the cornerback to an extension. When asked about Peters’ contract status, McVay said he “absolutely” would like to extend him, noting how Peters played much better […]

Since becoming the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, Sean McVay has changed the culture of the organization. The previous regime of Jeff Fisher as head coach left the franchise in a mediocre state. Fisher was the head coach from 2012-2016 with a 31-45 record in that span. Unfortunately, he failed to have […]

Sports Illustrated has coined the term “octopus” for when a player who scores a two-point conversion is also the one who scored the preceding touchdown. Two players are tied with three octopi each: Randy Moss and Todd Gurley. In fact, Gurley had all three of his this season, and two of them came in the same […]

The Los Angeles Rams decided to place an original round tender on Malcolm Brown earlier this offseason. That means that although he is a restricted free agent, any team could send an offer sheet for him, with the Rams being able to match it. Since Brown was undrafted, if he was signed by another team, […]

C.J. Anderson and the Los Angeles Rams are bound to go their separate ways this offseason. The 28-year-old running back is currently a free agent, and his recent activity via Twitter suggests that he won’t receive an offer to return to the team’s backfield alongside Todd Gurley for the 2019-2020 campaign. “Lol the disrespect is real […]

On Thursday night, running back C.J. Anderson took to Twitter to express his displeasure with how the free agency progress has gone for him thus far, calling the fact that he remains unsigned “disrespect.” On Friday, Anderson got back on Twitter and made sure to clarify that his comments were not about his former Los […]

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Samson Ebukam underwent minor knee surgery after the season, according to Gary Klein of The Los Angeles Times. Ebukam is expected to be ready for training camp, but his recovery from the procedure will hinder his availability for offseason workouts. The 23-year-old is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which […]

C.J. Anderson had a roller coaster of a 2018 campaign. He began the season with the Carolina Panthers, playing in nine games before being cut. He went on to sign with the Oakland Raiders, but did not even step on the field before the Raiders parted ways with him. Then, in Week 15, Los Angeles […]

The Los Angeles Rams have matched the Detroit Lions’ offer sheet for running back Malcolm Brown, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Lions’ offer was for two years and $3.25 million.

He also breaks down the Rams’ upcoming decision with Malcolm Brown and how it affects the backup running back decision. Finally, Derek analyzes the announcement […]

To say that the past year has been a roller coaster for Los Angeles Rams quarterback Blake Bortles would be an understatement. Bortles went from leading the Jacksonville Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game and earning a three-year, $54 million contract extension to being cut and joining the Rams as a backup. That is a […]

The Los Angeles Rams will decide by Friday whether or not they want to match the offer the Detroit Lions have made to running back Malcolm Brown, according to Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network.

The Los Angeles Rams recently reached a deal with former Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews to bring him onto the team in hopes of returning to the Super Bowl next season. After the signing, Matthews is out to prove his worth and provide a much needed veteran presence to the Rams defensive front. Rams […]

There’s no place like home. Just ask Clay Matthews. The longtime Green Bay Packers star signed a two-year, $16.75 million deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, ending a 10-year stint in green and gold. While Matthews no doubt felt some measure of hesitance leaving Green Bay, the lure of Southern California apparently played […]

Cooper Kupp put together a fantastic rookie season with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017. He was following that up nicely in 2018 – and was clearly their slot receiver of the future. Sadly the season ended abruptly for Kupp after an ACL injury in November. Now, thanks to TheRams.com, he’s providing everyone with an […]

The Los Angeles Rams made another big signing this offseason, perhaps in name only, when they inked veteran linebacker Clay Matthews to a two-year deal. Matthews spent all of his 10 NFL seasons playing at Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers before signing with the Rams for a max value of $16.75 million. LA, […]

The Los Angeles Rams knew they had to be careful with their money this offseason and it appears they got a bargain signing backup quarterback Blake Bortles for only $1 million according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The #Rams are paying backup QB Blake Bortles $1M on a 1-year deal, source said, which eats […]

Rumors coming out of the Minnesota Vikings camp have surfaced that the team is taking a good look at recruiting Los Angeles Rams quarterback Sean Mannion.

The Los Angeles Rams made a big splash tonight, signing pass-rusher Clay Matthews.

They posted a video of Matthews from his high school football days in Los Angeles to welcome him back to the city where […]

The Los Angeles Rams are making another splash, signing outside linebacker Clay Matthews.

Blake Bortles is going to be the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, and that’s a very good thing. Bortles, who managed to go bust with the Jacksonville Jaguars after signing a three-year extension for $54 million ($26.5 million guaranteed) after a successful performance in the 2017-18 playoffs, will look to rebound […]

The Detroit Lions have signed Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown to an offer sheet, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Blake Bortles will never live up to the expectations expected from a top-five pick. Five years removed from the Jacksonville Jaguars choosing him third overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, that much has never been clearer. Starting his career anew as a backup with the Los Angeles Rams, though, Bortles seems confident he picked the […]

Before the end of the 2018 regular season, the Los Angeles Rams already had a stranglehold of the top spot in the NFC West standings, and they’d go on to win the division by a rather sizeable three-game margin over the Seattle Seahawks. Furthermore, the Rams went a perfect 6-0 against their division rivals as […]

Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is now reportedly a member of the Los Angeles Rams. Slated to serve as a back up quarterback for the reigning NFC Champions in Sean McVay’s offense, Bortles will remain behind Jared Goff on the Rams’ depth chart heading into the 2019 campaign. Nonetheless, Bortles still chose to sign […]

Blake Bortles has a new home. The Los Angeles Rams are signing Bortles to be their new backup quarterback, according to Jeff Darlington of ESPN.
