    from Albert Breer, NFL Mailbag: https://www.si.com/nfl/nfl/nfl-mailbag-rams-nfc-west-favorite

    From Big Nasty_00 (@BigNasty_00): Who are the favorites in the NFC West? Will Ramsey be a Ram again?

    BREER: Nasty, I think the Los Angeles Rams are the favorite to repeat, but I do believe all four teams are in the mix to win the division. The San Francisco 49ers haven’t been as depleted as you’ve been led to believe—yes, a few foundational pieces are gone, but San Francisco survived these sorts of things before. The Seattle Seahawks are really interesting, coming off a 10-win season in Year 1 for Mike Macdonald. And, then, there’s a steadily rising team in Arizona ready to take another step.

    That said, L.A. pulled off the impressive feat of flipping an aging roster into a promising young team. Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, Andrew Whitworth and Jalen Ramsey are gone, and the Rams are now leaning on guys such as Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, Jared Verse, Kobie Turner, Byron Young, Braden Fiske and Kam Kinchens to be the new foundation.

    All of those guys, on paper at least, should keep getting better. The Rams should, too, after pushing the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round last year.

    pass rush did eleveate coverage on 3rd and long…few, ifany teams better, in that siutaiton

    from https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-tight-end-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season

    Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams

    Higbee could be on his way out in a contract year after the Rams selected Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He is coming off an injury-shortened 2024 season but has been productive when healthy. His 79.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024 shows he has good play left in the tank, but at 32 years old, his prime is behind him.

    And Kyren Williams, possibly.

    Good. Cut the dead wood. It’s not like they’re Billy Bajema and Zac Stacy.

    It will be interesting to what they do. If Hunter is good, then Williams is probably gone. If Hunter is slow to get up to speed, then the Rams will have to talk about an extension, and I don’t know what that looks like nowadays. RBs have slipped in prominence, and the Rams got burned on Gurley. Williams is young, though, and pretty good.
