The Los Angeles Rams still need some cornerback help after an offseason where they returned their entire 2024 lineup.
L.A. also didn’t draft any new cornerbacks or trade for any veterans despite interest in Jalen Ramsey, who ended up being sent to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There are a few other options out there for the Rams if they want another veteran, including five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro Stephon Gilmore.
While it’s unclear if Gilmore or the Rams are interested in each other, former Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Warren Herring urged Gilmore to come to L.A. on a recent episode of “The Money Down Podcast.”
“Come over to LA. We like you in the blue and gold,” Herring said. “You did it to us once. Now, get us one. You owe us one. We need some veteran presence in the room. We’d love to have you.”
Herring is referencing the 2018 Super Bowl, when Gilmore and the New England Patriots beat the Rams, 13-3. Gilmore had an interception and five tackles in that game.

While Gilmore, who’ll be 35 in September, didn’t say which teams he’s interested in signing with, the veteran noted that “it’s got to be the right situation for me. So, I’m not just going to sign anywhere.”
Gilmore, who’s played for the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers over the past four years, has 32 career interceptions, 149 defended passes and 617 combined tackles in 180 games over 13 NFL seasons.
