Memphis Rams Mock 2.0

2026 FREE AGENCY

Release

CB Darious Williams
WR Davante Adams

NOTES:

Most will probably stop reading here, but oh well. Unwilling to carry an $8.6 million cap figure on Willams or a $28 million cap figure on a 33 year old Adams. I don’t believe in superstition, but I’d be lying if his 5 Championship Game losses isn’t in the back of my head.

Re-Sign

CB Roger McCreary
OL Justin Dedich
K Harrison Mevis
LS Jake McQuaide

NOTES:

Dedich and Mevis get their exclusive rights free agent deals.
McCreary is my new starting slot CB with Lake replacing Curl at safety while playing some slot from time to time.


Extensions
QB Matthew Stafford
WR Puka Nacua
DT Kobie Turner
OT Walter McClendon

NOTES:

Byron Young & Steve Avila are going to have to play out their contracts. If they play well enough then maybe re-sign them both or even franchise one. Methinks Stafford's new deal may be more costly than some might expect.


Key Additions
CB Chidobe Awuzie, Ravens
WR Rashid Shaheed, Seahawks
QB Zach Wilson, Dolphins

NOTES:

From what I understand the Rams tried to sign Awuzie this past offseason but he went to Baltimore. Hopefully they can get him this time to add another veteran presence in the DB room. Shaheed is who I wanted at the trade deadline if a move were to be made. As good as Adams was, I can’t help but to believe that a true speed threat would open up this offense even more. Plus, they’d be hurting Seattle. And yes, I’m still banging the drum on the Zach Wilson potential reclamation project. Let him compete with Bennett.

NOTES

WR Makai Lemon
looks like a smaller, but faster Puka Nacua to me. I’d prefer a bigger option, but this kid has that dawg in him.

CB Chris Johnson is probably the highest NCAA Group of Five player in the draft and was PFF top rated CB in this year’s draft class.

EDGE Derrick Moore is a former teammate of Josaiah Stewart who had 11 sacks last season and provides Byron Young insurance.

CB Julian Neal gives the team a big physical CB for the bigger targets may face while also upgrading the tackling on the back end.

OT Aamil Wagner give the team a much needed swing OT capable of eventually becoming a full-time starter as he further develops.

@methomas50 told me about NT Nick Barrett. Rams need some backup beef when Ford is out and while the kid only started 13 of 51 games in 5 years he made his last season his best.

Don’t really know much about OG Logan Parr except that he had one of if not the highest pass blocking grade with PFF. Oline coach should help his run blocking.

WR Wetjen is the back-to-back B1G return specialist of the year. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s said to be uncoverable at East West Shrine Game practices.

Finally, you'll note no LB prospect listed. Sure they could sign one or bring in an UDFA. But, I really believe that Dolac is the answer.

The Offense

.

The last three Rams playoff losses has seen the offense inside the redzone, trying to punch the ball into the endzone to take the lead in the game.

Each time they failed miserably. Didn't even look like getting into the endzone.

The only player mistake we can point to was Limmer letting Carter run free to sack Stafford against the Eagles last season. Other than that the offense had no clue how to get the ball into the endzone.

Yesterday there's no guarantee that the Rams would have even won the game because the defense would have had to defend the lead (shudders).

My problem is when the Rams need it the most in these big games, the offense has been clueless. Great teams, and offenses, find a way to get it done.

Three years in a row man. It's disheartening.

Speights was not impactful at all in this one, missing one tackle and taking poor angles to ball carriers throughout the night. Young was playing at less than 100%, and it showed. He had zero pressures and one missed tackle, losing contain on Kenneth Walker's touchdown run to start the game. McClendon allowed a team-high four pressures in the loss, the only player to allow more than Avila's three.

Who’s # three?

The Seahawks weren’t going to let Puka or Devante beat them in the end zone, they doubled them both. Someone else was going to have to try and win it. Colby had a potential td bounce off his hands, Ferg and Mumpfield couldn’t make contested catches. If we had a reliable #3 this offense could be even better. The rams were bad on 3rd down and Stafford had to try to force it into tight windows.
Mumpfield has gotten some of those reps but hasn’t impressed, Whittington? Ferg? Someone else? Be nice if they could return kicks too.

Memento's FUCK Seattle 2026 NFL Offseason Mock

Welp, we lost. It sucks, and I'm not watching the Super Bowl...but it gets me started with the offseason. Also assuming Scheelhaase gets a HC job with the Browns, so an extra two picks. Also going off of Draftek to see where prospects are going. Here we go:

Futures Signings: Brennan Presley, Tru Edwards, Mario Williams, Elias Neal, Nate Valcarcel, Cam Lampkin, Dylan McMahon, Mark Redman.

(Makes sense to bring all of them back.)

Cut: Darious Williams

(Too slow. Need to upgrade.)

Extend:

Puka Nacua - five years, thirty-nine million per year
Kobie Turner -four years, twenty-five million per year
Steve Avila - four years, sixteen million per year

(All of them make sense for extensions. I'd extend McClendon as well, but I've decided to wait on him. We need to extend one of our guards, though, and Turner and Nacua are non-negotiable.)

Re-sign:

Kam Curl - three years, 11 million per year
Roger McCreary - one year, 6.5 million
David Quessenberry - one year, 2.5 million
Jake McQuaide - one year, 1.5 million
Nick Hampton - ERFA
Harrison Mevis - ERFA
Justin Dedich - ERFA

(Going to really go with the draft, so limiting the signings. Curl's earned a contract with how he's played. McCreary gets a one-year, prove-it deal. Quessenberry competes for our swing tackle job. McQuaide steadies the long-snapping duties. The others are ERFAs.)

Release:

Rob Havenstein
Tyler Higbee
Cobie Durant
Tutu Atwell
Jimmy Garoppolo
Akhello Witherspoon
Nick Vannett
Ronnie Rivers
Keir Thomas
Xavier Smith
D.J. Humphries
Derion Kendrick
Troy Reeder

(Wish them all well, but no, they're not on the team.)

Free Agency:

Isaiah Likely - four years, fourteen million per year

(Stealing from @jrry32 . This will put our tight end group ahead of the curve. I know Parkinson is good, Ferguson is ascending, and Allen is solid...but both Parkinson and Allen will be UFAs next year. Likely could give us a potentially elite tight end.)

Romeo Doubs - four years, twelve million per year

(We don't just need a speed threat at receiver. We need someone who will make an impact on every down. I think Doubs is that guy. He will only be twenty-six during the season, and he's been very productive for the Packers.)

Christian Harris - two years, four million per year

(Stealing from Jerry again. Purely for special teams.)

Trades:

Byron Young to the Detroit Lions for 2027 first round pick.

(The Lions are in need of an edge rusher opposite Hutchinson. Agent Zero fits perfectly. In return, we get a future first to build our squad.)

Colby Parkinson to the Miami Dolphins for 2026 third round pick (#87 overall).

(Sorry, but that drop was too much for me, and you have Allen, Likely, and Ferguson as well. Miami also needs a tight end for their new quarterback, so this makes sense.)

#13 overall to the Cleveland Browns for #24 overall, #39 overall, and 2027 second.

(Cleveland goes after Makai Lemon to get a target for whichever quarterback they're going with. We trade down and get a lot of picks.)

#29 overall to the Baltimore Ravens for #45 overall, #80 overall, and a 2027 second.

(Baltimore jumps up for Mesidor, we trade out of the first and get picks.)

Draft:

#24 overall (Browns) - Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois.

#39 overall (Browns) - D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana.

#45 overall (Ravens) - Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana.

#61 overall (Rams) - Josiah Trotter, ILB, Missouri.

#80 overall (Ravens - Dontay Corleone, NT, Cincinnati.

#87 overall (Dolphins) - Hezekiah Masses, CB, California.

#93 overall (Rams) - Eric Rivers, WR/PR, Georgia Tech.

#101 overall (Scheelhaase comp) - Treydan Stukes, CB, Arizona.

#168 overall (Rams) - Ephesians Prysock, SAF/STAR, Washington.

#206 overall (Texans) - Eli Raridon, TE, Notre Dame.

#209 overall (Rams) - Cole Payton, QB, North Dakota State.

#233 overall (Ravens) - Fernando Carmona Jr., OG/OT, Arkansas.

#251 overall (Robinson comp) - Jager Burton, OC/OG, Kentucky.

#257 overall (Rozeboom comp) - Isaiah Jatta, OT, Brigham Young.

(I understand the shock with Jacas being the first pick, but I think he could be arguably the best edge in this class, and he's a productive and freakish athlete at 6'4", 275. Ponds is one of my favorite prospects in this class, a real scrappy playmaker. Sarratt could be our new Cooper Kupp; that's seriously whom he gives me vibes of, and he can score inside the redzone as well. Trotter could be an elite inside linebacker, and he's super young for the class (won't turn twenty-one until April). Corleone is one of my favorite nose tackles. Masses is long, lengthy, and super productive. Rivers is your main punt returner. Stukes is another long, lengthy corner with production. Prysock is a big, physical corner who might be a better fit as a safety/backup STAR to Lake. Raridon came on late, but he's got oodles of potential as a receiver and a blocker. Payton is really athletic and with a big arm; he's your third string QB. Carmona, Burton, and Jatta all upgrade depth at offensive line, and all are guys I like.)

Roster:

QB - Matthew Stafford, Cole Payton

(Stetson and Payton compete for the backup job, and I think Payton wins, but I'm betting we take a QB in 2027 to help bridge Stafford.)

RB - Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Jarquez Hunter (KR).

(Hunter will do kick returns, while Williams and Corum form a two-headed monster.)

WR - Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Romeo Doubs, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, Elijah Sarratt, Eric Rivers (PR).

(Lots of receivers, but Adams, Doubs, and Whittington all have injury concerns. Rivers is your punt returner while Mumpfield and Sarratt compete for that

TE - Isaiah Likely, Terrence Ferguson, Davis Allen, Eli Raridon.

(Likely is going to propel the room to great heights, while Ferguson, Allen, and Raridon contribute.)

OL - Alaric Jackson, Steve Avila, Coleman Shelton, Kevin Dotson, Warren McClendon, David Quessenberry,. Justin Dedich, Fernando Carmona Jr.

(Burton and Jatta both go on the practice squad and are protected. The others are obvious.)

DL - Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, Poona Ford, Tyler Davis, Ty Hamilton, Dontay Corleone.

(No surprises here. Hoping Fiske is a lot healthier next season.)

LB - Jared Verse, Josaiah Stewart, Nate Landman, Josiah Trotter, Desjuan Johnson, Nick Hampton, Gabe Jacas, Omar Speights, Shaun Dolac

(Yes, Agent Zero's loss will hurt, but I think Jacas has enormous potential, and our edge group looks ferocious. Hoping Trotter at middle linebacker along with Landman can solidify the middle.)

DB - Emmanuel Forbes, Roger McCreary, Quentin Lake, Kam Curl, Kamren Kinchens, D'Angelo Ponds, Hezekiah Masses, Treydan Stukes, Jaylen McCollough, Josh Wallace, Ephesians Prysock.

(Really turning over the secondary with youth, size (Ponds aside), and production in college. Forbes and McCreary start for now, but don't be surprised to eventually see Ponds take someone's job, and Masses, Stukes, and Prysock won't be far behind.)

ST: Harrison Mevis, Ethan Evans, Jake McQuaide.

(We'll probably bring in a young long-snapper to compete with McQuaide. We'll see how Mevis does his second year and if Evans can do well in a contract year.)

2026 Financials: Los Angeles Rams

Michael Ginnitti
January 25, 2026



The Los Angeles Rams finished 2025 with a 12-5 record, good enough for 2nd place in the NFC West, and a 5 seed in the postseason.

LAR enters 2026 with around $59M of cap space, with 42 contracts currently on the books (though 2 are set to void in mid-Feb). The table is headlined by Matthew Stafford ($48.2M), Davante Adams ($28M), and Alaric Jackson ($25.3M).

The Rams currently boast 11 draft picks, including two 1st-round picks (Atlanta), two 5th-round picks (Tennessee), and two 6th-round picks (Houston). Future Rams Draft Picks

  • Will Matthew Stafford return in 2026, and if so - will he be comfortable on a $40M salary?
  • The Rams have plenty of mouths to feed this offseason, and no post-Stafford plan (at least from the outside looking in). Will there be reservation in adding too much multi-year guarantee to the roster with change coming at the QB1 position sooner rather than later?
(Spotrac Valuation APY)

RT Rob Havenstein ($10M)
S Kamren Curl ($10M)
CB Roger McCreary ($6.1M)
TE Tyler Higbee ($5.4M)

Claimed off waivers from Washington last December, Forbes had his most impactful season to date in 2025, spending the year as LA’s primary RCB. Has he shown enough to warrant an $11M guarantee with a 5th-year option exercise this spring? That seems unlikely at present time.

One of the bigger no-brainers in the league this coming offseason, Nacua is entering a contract year in 2026, set to earn an estimated $5.8M (once a proven performance escalator is finalized). He’s extension-eligible for the first time this winter, currently projecting toward a 4 year, $154M deal in our system. There’s a realistic world where that number looks more like $180M ($45M APY) when it’s all said and done.

The former 3rd-round pick out of Tennessee had an official breakout year in 2025 (12 sacks, 82 tackles), but has been a standout player for each of his first 3 NFL campaigns. He projects toward a 4 year, $145M ($36M APY) extension in our system.

A 3rd-round pick out of Wake Forest, Turner has 24 sacks across 3 seasons, and has developed into one of the better overall interior linemen in the game. The 26-year-old projects toward a 4 year, $100M contract in our system.

A 2nd-rounder out of TCU, Avila is the clearcut option at left guard for this Ram’s offense, but has dealt with limited seasons in back to back years due to injury. He enters a contract year in 2026, set to earn an estimated $3.7M (once a proven performance escalator kicks in). The 26-year-old projects toward a 4 year, $70M extension in our system.

Saw his snap count drop from 70% in 2024, to 40% in 2025, but is also under contract at a team-friendly $7.5M in 2026. There’s a $500,000 roster bonus due March 15th, so any kind of movement would likely happen prior to.

He certainly doesn’t look like a player ready to hang up the cleats, but Stafford is certainly within his rights to consider his options this coming spring. The nearly 38-year-old is under contract at $40M in 2026, all of which is set to fully guarantee on March 15th. The Rams would be staring at a $41.9M dead cap charge if Stafford moves on here. Processing this in a Post 6/1 manner means $27.5M in 2026, $14.4M in 2027.

A 5th-rounder out of Ohio State, Hamilton hasn’t yet found his sea legs in this Rams’ defense, and is in danger of falling by the wayside before a second offseason.

QB Matthew Stafford’s 2026 salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 15th. Converting it to bonus can free up $11.7M of cap space.

WR Davante Adams’s 2026 roster bonus is already fully guaranteed. Processing a simple salary conversion (including this roster bonus and adding void years), can open up over $18M of space.

LT Alaric Jackson’s 2026 salary is already secure. Processing a conversion on it (plus void years) can free up $15.6M of room.

S Quentin Lake’s 2026 compensation will be fully guaranteed by March 13th. Converting most of it to signing bonus first can open up $8.6M of space.

Xavier Smith - Pharoh Cooper - Az Hakim

Most of you know how these all relate to each other. Hell, I'm probably forgetting some more with the way our luck has been. How in the hell do I keep seeing my teams hopes and dreams destroyed in the playoffs by disastrous special team play? I've got some serious PTSD with special teams. I want nothing to do with them... I sit there expecting the worst every time. I need it to stop because nothing pisses me off more than losing or giving up points because of dumbass special teams plays. Fuck, at this point just don't field a returner. I don't care, leave the backfield empty. Let the ball fall where it may. At least then the MVP gets to touch the ball.

Sorry, probably not worth a new thread but the irony of this shit is wearing me out. How many more of these will I endure before I die?

Thought Experiment for Seasoned Rams Fans

I personally feel the 2001 team that lost to the Patriots in SB XXXVI was better than our SB championship teams. If not for the proven filming of our practices and mugging of our WRs that went uncalled, we win that game going away.

So, if that team jumped in a time machine in 2002 and came to 2026 to play our current Rams, what would happen? The guys are bigger 25 years later, but with Faulk/Bruce/Holt and Warner, against THIS YEAR'S DEFENSE, I don't see them ever having to play a 3rd down nor settling for a field goal.

What about our current offense against THAT defense? Maybe 20 points?

Am I nuts?

Jrry32's Post-NFCCG Loss Rams Mock Offseason

Admittedly, I haven't had a lot of time to dig into the Draft yet, so don't expect this to be good. I am projecting that the Browns hire PGC Nate Scheelhaase to be their HC, which nets us a third round pick this year and next. Here's what I'm thinking right now:
Cut
CB Darious Williams

Love D-Will, but he's gotten too old and lost too many steps for how much he's slated to make.

Re-sign
S Kam Curl
CB Roger McCreary
LS Jake McQuaide
EDGE Nick Hampton
OL Justin Dedick (ERFA)
WR Xavier Smith (ERFA)
K Harrison Mevis (ERFA)

Curl is a solid player for us. I want him back. I like McCreary as depth due to his versatility and willingness to tackle.

Free Agency
Jaylen Watson CB Chiefs
Isaiah Likely TE Ravens
Nick Scott S Panthers
Christian Harris ILB Texans
Fred Johnson OT Eagles

Watson gives us the big outside CB we desperately need. At 6'2" 197 pounds, Watson is one of the league's best run defenders at the position and had a good year in coverage. Likely isn't a need, but I think he's undervalued and would be a great fit in our offense as a movable chess piece for McVay, especially with McVay's newfound love of TEs. He's surehanded (excepting his rookie year), gifted after the catch, and a good route runner. We bring back Nick Scott for his special teams prowess. I also added Christian Harris for special teams. We need some speed and hitting on that unit. Fred Johnson will serve as our swing OT.

Trade
Titans trade QB Will Levis
Rams trade Round 6 Pick #29

With the QB options in this Draft drying up, the Rams bring in Levis to replace Garoppolo as Staff's backup. With Levis's contract expiring after 2026, they want to see what he's made of.

NFL Draft
Round 1 Pick #13 - Sonny Styles ILB Ohio State
Round 1 Pick #29 - K.C. Concepcion WR/RS Texas A&M
Round 2 Pick #29 - Malik Muhammad CB Texas
Round 3 Pick #29 - Kage Casey OT Boise State
Round 3 Pick #37 - Mikail Kamara EDGE Indiana
Round 5 Pick #4 - Ephesians Prysock CB Washington
Round 5 Pick #29 - Eric Gentry ILB USC
Round 6 Pick #26 - Albert Regis DT Texas A&M
Round 7 Pick #16 - Caullin Lacy WR/RS Louisville
Round 7 Pick #34 - Jager Burton IOL Kentucky
Round 7 Pick #40 - Xavier Nwankpa S Iowa

Analysis:
Like I said, I haven't done much evaluating for the Draft to this point. I've watched these guys casually and thought they were impressive. Styles is a big, rangy ILB who excels in coverage and tackles well. We desperately need that guy next to Landman. I took him because I considered him the BPA here. Concepcion is a playmaker at WR and in the return game. He has inside-out versatility, great YAC skills, and the ability to be a high-level route runner. He also has the vertical speed to threaten defenses deep. I think he could develop into a great WR with Davante and Puka mentoring him. Muhammad is a big-time athlete at CB who has good size. His game needs some polishing, but he has legit cover skills. Casey seems like a solid OL who can offer depth across the unit. Kamara is short, but he was incredibly productive in college and excels at pressuring the QB. Prysock is a long CB with good athleticism and great intangibles. He can be a bit grabby. I see Gentry as a potential special teams ace. Long, athletic, and can tackle. Good zone coverage ILB too. Regis is a short, squatty NT. Think he can help with run defense. Lacy is a gifted returner and a productive slot WR. Burton is a solid, experienced IOL. And I see Nwankpa as a special teams player.

Great Season

Obviously we all wish a different outcome, but I found myself not feeling the loss as I did when we lost to them last time. You could see that the Rams derailed after that game.

I am most bummed that Stafford's crazy, possibly MVP season was wasted, and I agree with most of the fan's observations that the defense and special teams cost us a lot of games.

Overall great season and I will REALLY be looking forward to seeing what the Rams do in the draft and offseason to beef up this team.

Tell us about your superstitions during Rams games

Alright, we had some entertaining responses to the "stress" thread, so I'll give a "superstitions" thread a shot.

My good friend Andy bought a yellow Rams hat when we went to the Colts game this year. Andy had a terrible all-time 0-4 record (!!) watching Rams games in-person, but the Yellow Hat turned the tide. In addition, every single game he has watched this year on TV while wearing the Yellow Hat, the Rams have won. Needless to say, I am insisting that he wear the Yellow Hat on Sunday.

My wife tends to watch parts of games, and during the Bears game, she took a break during OT, when the Bears were driving. When the Bears hit midfield, and everything looked lost, I insisted that she come back in to watch and give moral support. She came in right before Curl's amazing interception. She had been working on a furniture -refinishing project, and was wearing yellow gloves. So now she's keeping the yellow gloves close by on Sunday, just in case we need a big play.

As for me, I've got a lucky Rams T-shirt that has been 2-0 in our two playoff games this year. So I''ll be wearing it tomorrow.

By the way: I'm a total skeptic and don't believe in any of this stuff. Except when it comes to the Rams. I just gotta believe in something to take the edge off.

Anyway-- what are the ways that YOU send "good mojo" out into the Universe to help our Rams win?

The Rams’ intent on keeping young OT

The Rams’ intent on keeping young OT​

The prevailing belief outside league circles is that offensive tackle is a position of need for the Los Angeles Rams, who battle the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in the NFC title game. It’s a narrative I bought into, as I had the team selecting Max Iheanachor in the second round of my recent two-round mock draft.

Yet sources tell me this is untrue and the team is happy with both offensive tackles, including right side blocker Warren McClendon Jr., their fifth-round pick from the 2023 draft. In fact, I’m told the Rams will look to extend McClendon, who will be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, during the offseason. Locking him up in the future is expected to cost the Rams around $20 million annually.

McClendon was a terrific tackle in college for the Georgia Bulldogs, though questions about his size and ability to hold up at right tackle were red flags. After playing just five games as a rookie, then starting five the following season, McClendon started 10 games this year.

The team’s left tackle, 2021 undrafted free agent Alaric Jackson, signed a three-year, $57 million contract with the franchise prior to the start of this season.
