I was just listening to a Chargers fan call on NFL Radio with Pat Kirwin. The caller was lamenting losing Ford. Kirwin responded empathetically that Ford is nothing more than a journeyman. He was not excited about what he called an “undersized nose tackle,” and he thought that the Rams overpaid for him. FWIW, Kirwin is good friends with Pete Carroll, so I wonder if they’ve had conversations about Ford in the past.

Anyway, I don’t usually get too worked up about the amount of money teams give a player in free agency. I’m obviously hopeful about this signing. Bobby Brown was a bit of a roller coaster ride for me and Tyler Davis looks like he still has some growing to do.

Davante Adams agrees to two-year deal with Rams

Davante Adams is headed to the West Coast.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Adams is signing a two-year deal to join the Rams.

The initial report indicates Adams’ deal is worth $46 million with $26 million guaranteed.

Adams, 32, split his 2024 between the Raiders and Jets, finishing the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards with eight total touchdowns. He was thought to be a candidate to follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers wherever he ends up. But instead, he’ll play his 12th pro season with Matthew Stafford behind center.

A three-time AP first-team All-Pro, Adams has 957 career receptions for 11,844 yards with 103 touchdowns in 164 games.

With Cooper Kupp on the trade block — and a candidate to be released if no trade partner is found — Adams is expected to pair with Puka Nacua to form Los Angeles’ frontline tandem at receiver.

Retaining Atwell is money well spent. The Rams aren’t exactly crawling with quality receivers right now, especially ones with Atwell’s speed. I am also fine with the $10 million price tag. Justin Jefferson has an average salary of $35 million and I’d say that Atwell is about 1/3 the receiver that JJ is. Anyway, the Rams have to stock their receiver cupboard, keeping Atwell around helps and I like how they are not locked in long term. Hopefully the one-year contract motivates him.

No more Deebo Samuel running roughshod through the Rams secondary twice a year.

He’s staying. Which is nice.

Matthew Stafford will remain with the Rams in 2025

Matthew Stafford will remain the Rams’ starting quarterback for the 2025 season.

According to multiple reports, Stafford and the Rams have agreed to terms on a revised contract that will keep him in Los Angeles.

Stafford spent time talking to the Giants and Raiders in recent days about what kind of contract they would give him because he and the Rams had not been able to come to an agreement on a new deal. Stafford heard those pitches and went back to a meeting with the Rams on Friday as the league waited to find out if a trade was going to be made.

The terms of his new agreement with the Rams have not been revealed. Stafford was set to make a base salary of $23 million, which is a lot less than other quarterbacks with fewer NFL accomplishments, and reports indicated that the other teams were offering in the neighborhood of $90-100 million over the next two seasons.

The Rams offer a far better chance to win than the other clubs, so the price tag for this deal might not be quite as high. Whatever the number, the Rams are holding onto their guy and the Giants and Raiders will have to look elsewhere to solve the massive problem in the middle of their offenses.

Albert Breer on The Dan Patrick Show. Stafford/Kupp talk start at around the 6:50 mark.

I find myself oscillating between anger and depression with any Trump related news. It sounds like he’s working extra hard to achieve unfettered power.

I will always love Cooper. An all-timer for me.

I wonder what his market will be at this point.He still has some value, but I wouldn’t be surprised if teams just wait for him to be cut. Isn’t he due some big money next season?

I love Williams in the redzone. I would love if the Rams found another RB who they could rely on between the 20’s to shoulder more of the running game and then let Kyren find the endzone inside the 20. I guess it wouldn’t be fun to be that RB who does the work getting the team into scoring position and then never seeing the endzone though. I also know being a successful RB often involves being involved in a game and finding a rhythm within a balanced game, so I have no illusions about that happening though. Kyren’s fumbling really bothers me though. I was pretty young when Wendell Tyler played, but sometimes I have Wendell Tyler flashbacks with Kyren. Probably not fair because I’m pretty sure that Wendell fumbled at a much higher rate than Kyren.

I was most pleased and encouraged when the Rams intercepted Darnald after the terrible roughing the punter call that kept the Vikings drive alive. At the time, that felt like it could have been a pivotal moment either way. The defense made it a great game to watch. The offense seemed to sputter after Limmer’s redzone penalty. It was nice to see the Allan TD at the end of the half though. This has been a fun season.

A first in the Superbowl era. #ramshouseVia NFL on IG.
