The Los Angeles Rams spent a lot of the 2025 offseason keeping the band together.
L.A. kept 77.0% of its roster intact heading into 2025, according to Over The Cap’s Jason Fitzgerald. That number ranked ninth in the NFL.
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering the Rams’ biggest moves involved re-signing Matthew Stafford, Alaric Jackson and Tutu Atwell. L.A. also brought back veterans Akhello Witherspoon and Troy Reeder on smaller deals as well.
The other element to consider is how many Rams players are still on rookie deals. Starters like Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, Jared Verse, Byron Young and Kobie Turner are all young players who are sticking around for the foreseeable future.
The Rams didn’t let too many players go, either. Cooper Kupp was released, but otherwise the biggest departures were impending free agents like Michael Hoecht, Christian Rozeoom and Bobby Brown III.
Sean McVay and Les Snead’s lack of roster turnaround is also an indication that they believe the team can compete for a title again. Last year, the Rams almost took down the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. So rather than rebuild, McVay and Snead are double-down on the formula that worked so well for them in 2024.
We’ll see if it pans out.
