The Los Angeles Rams’ waiting game with left tackle Andrew Whitworth paid huge dividends — literally. The 15-year veteran has toyed with retirement for the last couple of seasons, but the former Pro Bowler will suit up once again. Even more noteworthy is the fact that he recently agreed to reduce his 2021 base salary from $7 million down to $4 million in exchange for a fully guaranteed contract. Whitworth has been a staunch leader on the field for the Rams ever since he came over from the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017. Now, the prized offensive lineman is finding other…

Other than yelling profanities at the television set and gobbling down Tostitos, the playoffs are a good time to evaluate both a team’s strengths and weaknesses. It was apparent during the Los Angeles Rams’ 32-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the postseason that the Rams need to shore up the inside linebacker position. Utilizing a bevy of plays designed to go up the middle, Aaron Jones rushed for almost 100 yards on 14 carries. By the game’s end, the Rams had given up a total of 188 rushing yards. Obviously, in their win-now mode entering the 2021-22 season,…

While it’s true that the NFL gods giveth, it is also true that they taketh away. On the heels of the excitement following the announcement that receiver DeSean Jackson agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams, it was announced that former Rams’ receiver Josh Reynolds signed a contract with the Tennessee Titans. Reynolds has been more than serviceable for the Rams, especially last season where he saw an explosion in production, posting career-highs in receptions (52) and receiving yards (618). While he will surely be missed along with the many other players the Rams have had to…

So far for the Los Angeles Rams, this NFL Free Agency period has amounted to nothing but crickets and tumbleweeds, as seemingly hordes of beloved former players have found new homes. But the team finally made some noteworthy news, signing veteran receiver DeSean Jackson on Sunday to a one year deal. Although the signing of the 34-year-old doesn’t come with all the proverbial bells and whistles that it would have in previous years, this is an excellent signing for the Rams. It’s one that could pay huge dividends for the team during the 2021-22 season — assuming Jackson can find…

Speaking strictly in regards to the Los Angeles Rams in NFL Free Agency this year, all has been relatively quiet on the NFC western front. While the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers have made some splashy moves in the last few days, the Rams have remained somewhat stagnant in their free agency pursuits. However, the Rams have reportedly shown strong interest in acquiring former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree’ Jackson to the roster — a move that would immediately bolster the team’s secondary and add more grease to the fire in their ultimate hopes of making a deep playoff run…

Oftentimes in the NFL, two seemingly opposing ideas can be true at the same time. While the Los Angeles Rams have seen a flurry of activity in the recent days of NFL Free Agency, most of that activity can be relegated to the “exit” category. One of the most recent of these somber departures is the recent Rams news that tight end Gerald Everett has elected to sign a one-year deal with the divisional rival Seattle Seahawks. While it’s true that Everett was a backup to the more elusive Tyler Higbee, and the team has never had anything remotely resembling…

On occasion, the typical NFL fan can stomach a minimal amount of pomp. Furthermore, when the moon is just right and the stars have aligned, the typical fan can even enjoy a slight degree of circumstance– straight with no chaser. But it is a rare occurrence indeed when a fan can handle the emotional toll of having to wrestle with both pomp and circumstance. Now that we are currently in the rapidly whirling thicket of NFL Free Agency, beloved players are leaving their base and subsequent legions of loyal supporters left and right to chase seemingly better schematic fits and…

The recent Los Angeles Rams trade for longtime Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is still at the forefront of the minds of the Mob Squad nation. Despite front office staff personnel’s repeatedly flagrant disregard for high draft picks in the last few years, seemingly dispensing of them in utterly nonchalant fashion, Stafford is unquestionably a major improvement over the talented yet inconsistent Jared Goff. Now that the proverbial stars have aligned and head coach Sean McVay now has a quarterback capable of running the present day iteration of his offense to its full potential, many fans are wondering what move…
