The preseason is expected to be shortened to three games per team in conjunction with the owners’ expected approval of a 17-game regular season beginning with the 2021 season.

Rams GM Les Snead on retaining OLB Leonard Floyd: “It’s more than just an edge rusher. Leonard’s a special athlete, with instincts to play the run game, set edges, the athletic ability to run along that front seven.”

Snead on extending Leonard Floyd: It’s more than just being an edge rusher. Leonard is a special athlete with instincts to play the run game, the athletic ability to run along that front 7. You have to be athletic, you have to be able to have the instincts to run those plays

and have the athletic ability to close and finish those plays, and be more than just a disruptor. There’s the added element of him being tough in coverage, and someone that QBs have to shoot over because he’s tall and long when he drops back. And the QBs we’re chasing down in

our division sometimes, that unique trait and athletic ability to re-direct when all of the sudden the play becomes unscheduled – and to have the speed after he does re-direct to go chase him down. Very versatile player for us and more than just an edge rusher.

It’s a one-year deal for DeSean Jackson with the Rams, where he reunites with Sean McVay who served as his OC for three seasons in Washington. Rams have been in search of a deep-threat receiver

Rams were pretty clear they wanted to add a fast vertical element and help balance the catch-and-run explosive element with some air-yards explosives…Jackson is 34 and has a McVay connection, joins a room featuring Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson.

I don’t like this signing at all. Washed up & always injured. Hope it was for vet minimum & zero guaranteed money. I sure hope they don’t pass on taking a WR in this draft. So many good WRs again this year.

DeSean Jackson isn’t going to be the WR1 in LA. He isn’t going to be the WR2 in LA. He probably won’t be the WR3 in LA. But a WR4 who can play 5-8 snaps per game and stretch the field. Absolutely.

Career average yards per reception

DeSean Jackson: 17.4
Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods: 12.4

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Rams hope adding Jackson will increase the competition at return specialist as well as theoretically help loosen up some of the intermediate stuff for co-No. 1 WRs Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp – IF he stays healthy.

Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
After firing Jeff Fisher four years ago, the Rams were intrigued by Washington OC Sean McVay, so they called around to guys who’d played for him for intel. One glowing recommendation that stood out came from … DeSean Jackson.

McVay got the job. And now Jackson’s back with him.
