The Rams already appear to have shown the world the shape of their offseason. They have restructured Matthew Stafford, keeping the 37-year-old QB who would have been the best available at the position if he’d been allowed to relocate, while also re-upping Alaric Jackson at left tackle following two seasons of solid performance (2.0 sacks allowed in each). In addition, they are attempting to trade Cooper Kupp, a move that could free up around $13 million more in cap space (or $20 million if executed after June 1). While they took a step to fortify their WR group by signing Tutu Atwell for another season following his rookie contract, the Rams could still be in the market for a younger and more cost-effective slot receiver and an outside threat, with both ideally being versatile pieces who can fit in their supremely motion-heavy scheme. That would solidify nearly their entire offense. That said, a depth piece for the line could be in order, in light of Joe Noteboom‘s pending free agency and the trade of Jonah Jackson to the Bears.
The defense is mostly set, with a promising young core in place. The most notable potential loss is Christian Rozeboom, who led the team with 47 run stops for negative EPA. While three defensive-line pieces are set to hit free agency, the Rams can lean on Jared Verse, Byron Young, Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, whose 218 pressures were the most by any four teammates in 2024. Cornerback would seem to be the only other spot for an addition, with Ahkello Witherspoon potentially departing and Darious Williams both approaching his 32nd birthday and coming off his worst season in coverage. Ultimately, though, the Rams’ collection of young talent and cap freedom has them positioned to maintain a spot near the top of the NFC West.
