Link to story Rams | Aaron Donald considering return to NFL Wed Jun 3, 12:15 AM
Former Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald told The Schultz Report on Tuesday, June 2 that he is considering a return to the NFL. 'I'm for sure flirting with the idea,' Donald texted Jordan Schultz. 'Helluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it's a possibility.' Donald, 35, has not played since 2023 but started considering a return when the Rams traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Donald, 35, has not played since 2023. Rams coach Sean McVay was asked Tuesday about the possibility of Donald coming back. "Listen, if he's interested," McVay said during Garrett's introductory news conference. "Here's what I'll say: You talk to Aaron, and you see what he's saying about that," McVay admitted he has talked to Donald since acquiring Garrett. The biggest problem for the Rams would be fitting Donald under their salary cap. But you can bet they would figure out a way to get the three-time Defensive Player of the Year on the roster if he wants to return. |

Rams | LAR set to acquire Myles Garrett Mon Jun 1, 01:17 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett is being acquired by the Los Angeles Rams Monday, June 1, in exchange for DE Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft choice and other undisclosed draft choices, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com noted, the shocking trade is completely on brand for the Rams, who made a similarly seismic move in the 2021 offseason when they traded for QB Matthew Stafford in the season in which the Super Bowl was being played in Los Angeles before going on to win it. With Super Bowl LXI set to be played at SoFi Stadium again, the Rams once again are going all-in and living by their mantra, "F--- them picks," while trying to repeat history. The move doesn't have a huge impact on Garrett's IDP value, which will remain high. |

Rams | Max Klare under contract Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams second-round draft choice TE Max Klare signed a four-year contract with the Rams Friday, May 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Like 2025 second round pick Terrance Ferguson, Klare will be eased into the offense, but we should assume that the long term vision of Sean McVay is for both Klare and Ferguson to be on the field more often than not - a base two tight end offense. Klare is a good long term stash in tight end premium leagues and he might be good enough to have value in PPR leagues by year two or three of his rookie deal. |
Rams | Puka Nacua not concerned about extension Sat May 30, 11:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua said that he 'hasn't really thought' about an extension with the club, even though he is eligible to receive one. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract and could command a deal similar to the four-year, $168.6 million extension given to Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba in March, which made him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: The Rams might be hesitant to give Nacua that large of a contract after he checked into rehab for a period of weeks this offseason following some regrettable moments in public. They can also put clauses in any new contract to protect themselves if Nacua's off-field behavior is a problem again. There's no reason to think that Nacua won't pick up where he left off and earn the long term investment from the Rams, but we will be monitoring the reports out of camp and the preseason. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford not looking to retire Thu May 28, 04:10 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he is looking to play beyond the 2026 season but will take things on a year-to-year basis.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have already begun planning for a future without him by drafting quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, Stafford said he'll attempt to manage the end of his career in a way that works for the team. Meanwhile, the veteran heads into his sixth season with the Rams after playing 12 with the Lions. After finishing as QB2 in 2024, Stafford is being drafted as QB14 this year. That price leaves a lot of room for upside |

Rams | Matthew Stafford new deal signals extended career? Sat May 23, 10:25 AM
ESPN's Adam Schefter commented on the new deal that Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford signed on Thursday, May 21, saying, 'I think with a deal like this it shows that he's probably planning on playing a couple more years.'
| Footballguys view: The Rams signed Stafford to a one-year, $55 million extension through 2027. This gives the Rams a locked-in starter for two more years, and Stafford keeps them in Super Bowl contention. The new extension for Stafford also gives rookie first-round QB Ty Simpson a couple of years to learn as the primary backup to the future Hall of Fame quarterback. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford gets one-year, $55 million extension Thu May 21, 07:45 PM
Reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford and the Rams reached agreement today on a one-year, $55 million extension worth up to $60 million with incentives.
| Footballguys view: Stafford, the reigning NFL MVP, now has two years and up to $105 million remaining on his deal with the Rams. Stafford, 38, played a full season last year for the first time since 2021 while leading the NFL with 4,707 passing yards and 46 passing touchdowns with eight interceptions in the regular season. He finished 2025 as fantasy's QB2. Stafford is going as QB15 in early drafts this year. That seems low. Even if he doesn't offer anything as a runner, Stafford benefits from the presence of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, strong offensive line play, and outstanding playcalling. |

Link to story Rams | Ty Simpson had private meetings with Sean McVay Tue Apr 28, 10:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams first-round pick QB Ty Simpson said he had private meetings with head coach Sean McVay before they selected him in the first round of the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: "They wanted to make it private and didn't want people to know that they were interested," Simpson said Monday via ESPN's Sarah Barshop. "I was trying to be on script and do what everybody told me and not to tell anybody." Telling the QB not to say anything about meeting with McVay makes sense. It also adds further context to McVay's body language immediately after the pick, which made it seem as if the coach wasn't on board with selecting Simpson 13th overall. All of this looks increasingly like an effort to be respectful of current starter Matthew Stafford. |
