Flashback to Feb 2019 when I covered Trent McDuffie's signing day at Bosco. Seven years later, he's back home

Rams trade for Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie in blockbuster deal Rams swap the No. 29 pick and fifth- and sixth-round picks in this year’s NFL draft as well as a 2027 third-rounder for the former St. John Bosco High star.

Back in 2018 & 2019, the Rams traded for corners Marcus Peters and Jalen Ramsey as what they hoped would be the finishing touches for their roster construction.

On Wednesday, the Rams dusted off that playbook and took a swing for All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie www.dailynews.com/2026/03/04/r...

Rams in talks with Matthew Stafford about reworking his contract While he and the Rams have been taking a year-to-year approach, the 38-year-old NFL MVP quarterback is due $40 million and entering the final year of his deal.

Les Snead said Rams will wait on contract extensions until later in offseason. In addition to the 2023 draft class candidates, Snead said the Rams would be interested in a long-term partnership with RG Kevin Dotson

Les Snead said Rams and Matthew Stafford will continue to take year-to-year approach in terms of his future. Said the two sides could agree to a contract extension this offseason, but even then it would be with the understanding that Stafford would decide on his future in a year

Flip side, Sean McVay said Rams have not talked with Davante Adams about a contract restructure. Adams is set to count $28M against the cap in 2026

Sean McVay says that Rams TE Tyler Higbee is still deciding on his future, but says Rams would be interested in bringing him back if he decides to play in 2026

Sean McVay when asked about Matthew Stafford's contract status entering final year of his deal: "We've had great dialogue ... We'll work through all of those things"

Sean McVay on Aubrey Pleasant not being back on the Rams staff: "Just felt like it was going to be in the best interest of both parties to move on. Not an easy decision."

Sean McVay on Roberts Woods and Brian Allen joining the Rams coaching staff the last two years: "We're getting a little older now and our new players are starting to infiltrate the staff."

The Rams have tendered exclusive rights free agents OL Justin Dedich, K Harrison Mevis and WR Xavier Smith

Rams mock draft 2026: Who can help NFC title game team take next step? Rams GM Les Snead has said the team will be aggressive. This is what that could look like when the three-day event is held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.

With the combine this week, I took my first stab at a Rams mock draft. The players themselves are tough to project at this point, but I tried to focus more on the needs and when the Rams might address them
www.dailynews.com/2026/02/23/f...

The Rams have announced their 2026 coaching staff. Kliff Kingsbury is assistant head coach. Dave Ragone's official title is associate coordinator/QBs coach. Robert Woods assistant WRs coach.

Aubrey Pleasant is no longer listed as a Rams assistant. Jimmy Lake is new DBs coach.

Rams announce they have signed 15 players to futures contracts, including Tanner Ingle, AJ Arcuri, Dylan McMahon and Elias Neal

Rams announce they have re-signed vet OT David Quessenberry to a one year deal

Robert Woods has signed a one-day contract to retire as a Ram. Always credited along with Cooper Kupp for setting the culture in the Rams WR room during the Sean McVay era

Rams offseason primer: How to invest in defensive back seven? With five free agents including two starters, the secondary will likely be a primary focus through free agency and the NFL draft in April.

The Rams secondary is in flux entering the offseason. Do they run it back? Try to improve through free agency? Take a couple of shots at corner in the draft like they did with pass rushers in '23-'24? I take a look at their options.

Les Snead in a statement on Rob Havenstein's retirement: "I’ve shared with Rob that he has shown us the ideal blueprint of what a Ram is and it’s up to us to be disciplined to continue the tradition he helped establish."

Rams offseason primer: Offense must evolve after epic season The bigger questions for an offense that led the NFL in scoring and is projected to return 10 of its 11 starters might be more focused on contracts and depth.

With 10 of 11 starters returning on offense, how can the Rams still be aggressive about improving on that side of the ball?

My favorite Rob Havenstein story came from Warren McClendon, on the made up point system Havenstein kept in the Rams offensive line room:

Rams offensive tackle Rob Havenstein announces retirement The 33-year-old franchise stalwart made 144 starts for the Rams, who drafted him out of Wisconsin in 2015, and was a steadying voice for his younger linemates.

His teammates joke they can't imagine Rob Havenstein as the young guy in the room. That's how ingrained he was into the fabric of the Rams, a bridge between two cities and three eras.

Rams’ Les Snead says Matthew Stafford could lead to more aggressive approach The general manager hints that if their star quarterback, who turns 38 this month, decides to return, the Rams might need to take advantage of the time left.

A lot to unpack from Les Snead today on Matthew Stafford, the 2023 draft class' potential extensions, Puka Nacua's specifically and why cornerback will be a group the Rams will "attack" in the coming weeks
