ModeratorBut why?
I suspect that they’re thinking is, they don’t need 2 slower and roughly similar receivers in Nacua and Kupp, with one being older and prone to injury, plus tied to a big contract.
Look at 2021: Kupp had 145 receptions, 1947 yards, and 16 TDs. He played all 17 games. In 2024, he had 67 receptions, 710 yards, 6 TDs, and played 9 games.

ModeratorThe #Texans are hiring #Rams TEs coach and pass game coordinator Nick Caley as their new OC, as CJ Stroud and the Houston offense get a new play-caller, per me and @TomPelissero.
Caley drew interest from the #Jets and #Patriots. He was selective and lands in Houston. pic.twitter.com/Ol2stMfgDT

We are fully aware that, in time, we will face retribution for the information we are sharing with the American public. However, we remain committed to standing as a line of defense. When resistance members block efforts by Elon Musk’s staff, they are placed on administrative leave, their personal belongings searched, and their offices and computers locked. Our coalition now includes over 50,000 federal employees from across the government.
We want to remind Americans why Elon Musk’s actions are illegal. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was not established by Congress but was instead granted authority through an executive order by Trump, making its operations illegal. It is not an official department of the federal government. This system could provide Musk with a mechanism to unilaterally restrict the disbursement of funds approved by Congress—a move that has historically faced significant legal challenges.
DOGE teams have begun demanding access to data and systems at other federal agencies. However, none of these agencies control the flow of money in the way the Treasury Department does. Access to the federal payment system has always been tightly restricted due to its inclusion of sensitive personal information about millions of Americans who rely on Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other government payments.
In fiscal year 2023, the Treasury Department disbursed over $5 trillion through this system in a process typically overseen by civil servants. The stakes are incredibly high, and it is vital for Americans to understand the gravity of these actions. Please continue to spread the word and raise awareness.zn
Moderatorfrom Vincent Bonsignore on the Senior Bowl, edited [ie. chopped up] for a Rams perspective https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/3-observations-from-raiders-perspective-at-senior-bowl-3273434/
Deep class along defensive line
…The Senior Bowl offered plenty of worthy candidates on the interior and edge.
The best at the positions — Penn State’s Abdul Carter, Michigan’s Mason Graham and Georgia’s Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker — didn’t attend this week. But the slew of impressive prospects who did proved this is a deep draft on the defensive front.
Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander solidified himself as a second-round pick with incredible strength and quickness. Virginia Tech’s Aeneas Peebles, Ole Miss’ Walter Nolen, South Carolina’s T.J. Sanders, Florida State’s Joshua Farmer and Kentucky’s Deone Walker round out a deep group of interior linemen.
On the edge, Marshall’s Mike Green, Boston College’s Donovan Ezeiruaku, Minnesota’s Jah Joyner, Texas A&M’s Shemar Stewart, UCLA’s Olu Oladejo, Ole Miss’ Princely Umanmielen and Nebraska’s Ty Robinson had impressive weeks.
Plenty of receivers available
…Arizona star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan profiles as an instant impact player, but the Raiders would have to take him at No. 6. They might decide to address other needs at that point.
If so, there are many wide receiver prospects beyond the first round.
Iowa State’s Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, two distinctly different players and body types, were unguardable this week.
Higgins is a 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pounder who projects as more of a perimeter weapon. Noel measured at 5-9 and is expected to play in the slot. He flashed tremendous speed, quickness and explosiveness.
Washington State’s Kyle Williams, TCU’s Jack Bech, Oregon’s Tez Johnson, Utah State’s Jalen Royals, Georgia’s Arian Smith and Miami’s Xavier Restrepo had productive weeks.

ModeratorPro Football Focus doesn’t think the Rams should let [Alaric] Jackson reach free agency, calling him the one player they can’t afford to lose this offseason.
Jackson broke out as a legitimate force at left tackle for the Rams this season. His 78.4 PFF overall grade was the second-best mark on the team and a top-20 mark among all tackles. It’s tough to envision the Rams letting go of a player at a premium position who showed legitimate improvement at just 26 years old.
Jackson has gone from undrafted rookie to one of the best left tackles in the game, coming off his most impressive season yet in 2024.

ModeratorOLB Jared Verse
Verse had an immediate impact on the Rams as a rookie this season, starting from Day 1 and becoming their best edge rusher throughout the year. His 89 total pressures in the regular season and playoffs were the most of any player in the NFL, consistently winning against some of the league’s best left tackles.
He improved against the run as the season went on, too. He finished with an 85.5 pass-rush grade and 81.0 run defense grade, leading all Rams players (min. 100 snaps) with an overall grade of 89.3. The next-closest player was Kobie Turner with a grade of 75.1.
Verse exceeded even the highest expectations in Year 1 as a pro.

ModeratorI may be the only non-KC fan to be pulling for the Chiefs. I did not see the games last Sunday, and Championship Sunday is usually my favorite weekend (unless the Rams are in the SB). I punched into the NFC game near the end of the 1st half, and there was pushing, shoving, and facemask pulling, followed by replays of earlier animosities, and I was suddenly filled with hatred for the Eagles. Dunno why them, particularly. I think the fact that WA has changed its name, and Snyder is gone, and Snyder is rooting against WA, and the fact that WA never really did any serious damage to the Rams, coupled with the arrogance of Eagles’ comments before they beat the Rams…
I’m for the Chiefs. I have no reason to hate them. Reid is just good. Spags is good. Mahomes is good. They don’t deflate footballs, or illegally film opponents’ practices.
And. Like I said earlier, Brady never won 3 in a row. So that’s that.
You make a good case.
Plus the Chiefs might show people how you defend Barkley.

The #Panthers plan to hire #Rams assistant DL coach AC Carter as their new OLB coach, per league sources.Carter worked with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero as a quality control coach with the #Broncos in 2022.
Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
That’s a pretty big loss for the Rams. AC Carter is often behind the scenes but has played a huge role in the development of that young DL the last two seasons. Great opportunity for Carter!Carter did pretty much everything in complement to Henny, Smith and Coniglio – from helping run meetings and install to helping design some of their top rush packages like “cheetah”, plus ran all the drills (and had a bunch of sweatshirts torn up by AD in the process lol)

They used the entire game to set up the Bills defense for this play.

This draft is so deep at RB & they come in all different flavors. The prospects will have similar grades but teams will stack them differently based on fit/need. Day 2 is going to be a RB bonanza. -
