As targeted and inspired as both the Bears and Pats have been over the past few months, the Rams are my offseason darling to this point. Sean McVay and Les Snead have rebuilt L.A.’s roster with several exceptional draft selections, putting together a team that, with a bit more pro experience and a few select pieces (see below), could be in line for another Super Bowl run. 

 

L.A. has already addressed its biggest offseason question mark by managing to keep Matthew Stafford in the fold. His decision to return to L.A. for a 17th season (and not pursue a trade elsewhere) is arguably the most consequential roster move we’ve seen across the league thus far. And while not nearly as important, the Rams’ retention of their other QB, veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, could have a meaningful impact in 2025, as well.

The team also re-signed standout tackle Alaric Jackson before he could hit the open market and won the Davante Adams sweepstakes, signing the six-time Pro Bowler to a very reasonable two-year deal before the start of free agency. Plus, the Rams further bolstered both sides of the line with the additions of DL Poona Ford and OL Coleman Shelton. The latter, who spent his first five seasons with L.A. before joining Chicago last March, adds depth along the interior and could also compete with second-year center Beaux Limmer for the starting gig.

The Rams’ offseason should get even better, too, considering they still have their first-round pick in April (well, at least for now) and seven additional selections, including two third-rounders. That’s been the Rams’ money spot of late, with the team landing four major contributors in Round 3 over the past two drafts (2023: Blake Corum, Kamren Kinchens; 2024: Byron Young, Kobie Turner).
