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.
