Rams | Hope to Build on Akers' Late Season Production Thu Feb 2, 05:22 PM
Jordan Rodrigue, from the Athletic, reports the Los Angeles Rams are hoping to build off the late-season production of RB Cam Akers.
| Footballguys view: With new OC Mike LaFleur, the Rams should implement more wide-zone concepts with Akers being the primary beneficiary. If healthy, Akers could be quite productive in that system which makes him an RB2 with upside consideration. |

Rams | Could Have Interest in FA QB Mike White? Thu Feb 2, 05:10 PM
Zack Rosenblatt, from The Athletic, believes the Los Angeles Rams could be interested in New York Jets QB Mike White who is set to be a free agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: That would make a lot of sense. New Rams OC Mike LaFleur worked well with White as the starter over former no.2 overall pick Zach Wilson. With veteran QB Matthew Stafford returning from a spinal injury that cut his 2022 season short, the Rams need to have a backup they can trust. |
Rams | Mike LaFleur will be Rams OC Fri Jan 27, 11:40 AM
Former New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur has been hired as the new offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source Friday, Jan. 27.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur didn't have much to work with as the OC of the Jets. With the Rams, especially under HC Sean McVay, LaFleur has a chance to craft an explosive offense. McVay should have a big part in what the offense looks like (of course) in 2023. |
Rams | Mike LaFleur closing in on LAR OC gig? Thu Jan 26, 02:32 PM
Former New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur 'has the inside track' on being named as the new offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Things are shaping up for a Shanahan disciple to turn up underneath another Shanahan disciple. It's no surprise to anyone in the league. LaFleur's stock as a coach plummeted when he was with the Jets, but he can rehab his reputation if he gets the Rams offense back on track with Sean McVay. |
Rams | Trio of favorites emerging in LA Rams' OC search? Mon Jan 23, 02:19 PM
Former New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson and former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Marcus Brady appear to be the three top candidates to replace Liam Coen as the Los Angeles Rams' new offensive coordinator.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are looking for a fresh start after a disastrous 2022 season as defending Super Bowl champions. LaFleur would make a lot of sense because he runs the Shanahan system, which McVay (a disciple of Mike Shanahan) runs a variant of. |

Rams | Justin Outten of interest to LA Rams Thu Jan 19, 02:32 PM
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten is receiving interest from the Los Angeles Rams regarding their offensive coordinator vacancy, and the Rams have requested permission to interview Outten, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: For most of the season, the two Bobs from Office Space should have talked to Outten (what would you say you do here?). However, Outten got to call the plays in the final two games of the regular season (something he didn't do under former head coach Nathaniel Hackett) and the Broncos' offense looked better than it had all season long. |
Rams | LA interested in Bill Callahan Thu Jan 19, 02:26 AM
The Los Angeles Rams are interested in adding Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Bill Callahan to their coaching staff, according to SI.com's Albert Breer, who writes that the team could even offer Callahan their offensive coordinator position if former New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur ends up taking a job elsewhere.
Link to story Rams | Jalen Ramsey to be dealt? Thu Jan 19, 02:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams CB Jalen Ramsey could be traded during the offseason, according to The Washington Post's Jason La Canfora, who said that dealing Ramsey was a matter of when, not if, and that the return in such a trade may be less than many expect.
| Footballguys view: Ramsey has an injured AC joint in his right arm, and he will undergo surgery this offseason. He's coming off a career-high 88 tackles, and the Rams could use some draft picks as they need to rebuild after a disastrous turn as defending Super Bowl champs in 2022. |

Rams | Allen Robinson may be on block Sun Jan 15, 01:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Allen Robinson may be placed on the trade block this offseason because the team could save $15.25 million in salary cap space if he is traded, in the opinion of RamsWire's Cameron DaSilva.
| Footballguys view: We're not sure if Robinson is going to be traded away, but there is no doubt that he was not a good fit with the Rams. In 10 games before going down with a foot injury, Robinson only had 33 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns. In order to trade Robinson away, the Rams may have to give up picks in addition to the veteran wide receiver just to get him off the books. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford sticking around Sat Jan 14, 12:09 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is expected to have his 2023 option bonus and 2024 salary picked up by the third day of the new league year, which will amount to $62 million in guaranteed money the next two years, per sources on Saturday, Jan. 14.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are 'bringing it back' like Fred Durst with Stafford and head coach Sean McVay staying for the 2023 season. Stafford was barely healthy (elbow) last offseason, and this offseason he'll be dealing with the spinal contusion that ended his 2022 season. They may not be able to push for a Super Bowl again, but the Rams at least want to get back to respectability in 2023. |

Rams | Raheem Morris could replace Sean McVay Thu Jan 12, 02:13 AM
Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris would likely be elevated to the head coaching position if current head coach Sean McVay elects not to return in 2023, according to SI.com's Albert Breer.
| Footballguys view: Morris is getting more interest as a head coach from teams around the league. It makes sense for Morris to take over if McVay decides to retire and pursue other avenues in his career. |

Rams | Sean McVay undecided about 2023 Tue Jan 10, 03:29 PM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay will allow his coaching staff to pursue other jobs without resistance after telling his staff during a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 10, that he does not yet know what he will do next year.
| Footballguys view: The Rams won it all just a year ago, and then their 2022 season was one of the most disappointing follow-up seasons for a champion. McVay may want to start a family and get away from the daily grind of being a football coach. He's bound for the TV booth if/when he's done coaching. |
Rams | Matthew Stafford plans to continue career Mon Jan 9, 09:45 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he does not plan to retire this offseason and that head coach Sean McVay's future with the team will not affect his plans.
| Footballguys view: Retirement has been on the table for Stafford since the Rams won the Super Bowl last year. The 2022 season was a disappointment for Stafford and the Rams, but the veteran quarterback will bring it back for the 2023 season. Now, we'll have to see if Stafford (and the Rams) will have a new head coach. |

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters he intends to 'take the next couple of days to really be able to reflect and (have) a lot of conversations that will dictate and determine the decision that's best for me and my family.'
| Footballguys view: McVay may want to start a family, and he may want to head into the easy money of being a TV analyst. We'll see what happens with him in the near future, and the Rams will be a coveted team by prospective head coaching candidates if McVay does walk away. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Cam Akers rushed 21 times for 104 yards in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, his third consecutive 100-yard performance.
| Footballguys view: Akers has done a phenomenal job of turning things around this season. There were rumblings about him getting traded when he was away from the team, but nothing came to fruition. Instead, Akers was welcomed back with open arms and literally ran with his opportunity. He'll enter next season, the final year of his contract, as the lead back for the Rams. |

Rams | Baker Mayfield doesn't do much in Week 18 Sun Jan 8, 08:17 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Baker Mayfield completed 13-of-26 passes for 147 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, while rushing five times for 16 yards.
| Footballguys view: Nobody knows what the future holds for Mayfield. He put up some good numbers with the Rams, but he also continued to show why multiple teams have moved on from the former no.1 overall pick. We imagine some team will bring in Mayfield to work as a veteran reserve. There is also a chance some team wants him as a 'bridge' quarterback in 2023. |
