14. Jimmy Garoppolo, Los Angeles Rams 

Garoppolo’s days as a starter are likely over after one season with the Raiders. He’ll get a fresh start under the guidance of Sean McVay, who helped reignite Baker Mayfield’s career a few years back. Garoppolo, 32, went from standing in the Rams’ way as the starter for the 49ers to becoming the backup to Matthew Stafford. He has played in 81 career games with 63 starts during 10 NFL seasons.

16. KOBIE TURNER, LOS ANGELES RAMS

From Week 11 onward in 2023, Turner posted an 89.5 PFF overall grade, which ranked fifth in the league. His PFF pass-rushing grade came out to 90.3, the best in the NFL and just ahead of his teammate Aaron Donald.

Losing Donald to retirement changes the picture the entire Rams defense will see every snap, but Turner looked like a star in the making as a rookie.

End of OTAs? The NFL Players Association is working to finalize a proposal to overhaul the offseason starting as soon as 2025, eliminating voluntary on-field work in the spring in favor of a longer training camp ramp-up, with players reporting in mid-June to early July, per

This would have a significant impact, in my opinion, on how medical staffs currently “load” a season and manage offseason with the spring being an important time for them to get with players, not to mention spring install periods, summer’s total break with families, etc

CJ Stroud Talk About Matthew Stafford

 C.J. Stroud thinks incredibly highly of the Rams quarterback and defended his greatness while on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast recently. Stroud spoke emphatically about how good Stafford is, even saying at first that he might put him up there with Tom Brady “and them” before walking back that statement.

“Stafford, he’s another one. He might be up there with Brady and them,” Stroud said. “No, that’s crazy. That’s crazy. Let me go back. I’m a student of the game. Stafford’s a dog. He’s a dog. You don’t understand. You’re saying that. That’s all I watch. I don’t watch nobody else. I watch Mahomes at times because Mahomes does some stuff that you can’t coach. Stafford, dog. He will beat you with the same thing every time. All that no-look stuff, I got that from (him). That’s one of my biggest – like, I’m a fan of his.”
