The Los Angeles Rams are making a push for Super Bowl contention after an offseason in which the team kept main contributors and moved on from aging veterans for flashy ones.
Matthew Stafford, Alaric Jackson, Tutu Atwell and some defensive players are back, while Davante Adams joined in free agency. The team also added rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson, running back Jarquez Hunter and edge rusher Josaiah Stewart in the draft to beef up some areas of need.
But is that enough for a Super Bowl push?
The Score’s Daniel Valente and Matthew Washington put each NFL team into tiers that describe their Super Bowl window, ranging from “wide open” to “there’s no window.” While the Rams were one score away from making the NFC title game in 2024, The Score put Rams in the “open but closing” tier.
“Matthew Stafford has two years left on his deal,” Valente and Washington wrote. “That’s about the championship window for this Rams squad. Davante Adams inking a two-year contract is another sign that L.A. wants to maximize its chances before its franchise quarterback hangs it up.”
This makes sense on its surface, but only if you believe Sean McVay and Les Snead don’t have a plan for the future. Stafford and Adams aren’t going to be on the team forever, but all it takes is hitting on another quarterback for this team to go back to its contention roots.
The next two years are where the Rams are looking right now, though, but there is likely still a plan for the future to keep this team’s Super Bowl hopes alive for longer.
