Puka Nacua will be back, of course, but Adams joins an offense that\u2019s looking to improve after sputtering at times last season.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford and his receivers are wasting no time building chemistry, hitting the practice field for some reps this week. The Rams shared a video of Stafford (and Jimmy Garoppolo) throwing to Nacua and Adams, who were running some routes on air.<\/p>\n<p>This is a light portion of the offseason program so there are limitations to what teams are allowed to do, but it\u2019s still exciting to see Adams and Nacua catching passes from their star QB.<\/p>\n<p>If everything comes together like the front office and coaching staff hope, the Rams could be a scary team in 2025. We know their defense is going to keep getting better after hitting its stride late last year, but the offense has a chance to take a big step forward with Adams at wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Rams Wire on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheRamsWire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ramswire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and now\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@ramswire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>\u00a0for more coverage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matthew Stafford will have a new receiver to throw to in 2025 after the Los Angeles Rams signed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[3979,247,265,240,3978,5430,7,7840,2030,7841,239,1014,58,2444,2611,3310,32,1075,88,6,245,537,530,1074,1088,424,9,266,3177],"class_list":{"0":"post-14718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-adams","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-angeles","12":"tag-davante","13":"tag-davante-adams","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-garoppolo","16":"tag-jimmy","17":"tag-jimmy-garoppolo","18":"tag-los","19":"tag-los-angeles","20":"tag-los-angeles-rams","21":"tag-losangeles","22":"tag-losangelesrams","23":"tag-matthew","24":"tag-matthew-stafford","25":"tag-nacua","26":"tag-news","27":"tag-nfl","28":"tag-overall","29":"tag-overall-positive","30":"tag-positive","31":"tag-puka","32":"tag-puka-nacua","33":"tag-rams","34":"tag-sports","35":"tag-sports-news","36":"tag-stafford"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114431593384244095","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
