This offseason, I took control of the Los Angeles Rams in GM Mode on StickToTheModel with a focus on keeping the roster competitive, extending key young players, and strengthening the secondary.

Here’s how the offseason played out.

The Big Picture

• Starting Cap Space: $41.7M
• Final Cap Space: $39.3M

• Players Cut: 1
• Contracts Restructured: 5
• Extensions: 3
• Trades Made: 1
• Free Agents Signed: 5
• Draft Picks: 6

• Overall Grade: A-

The Rams remained aggressive while still maintaining nearly $40M in cap space.

Cuts

The Rams created additional cap space by moving on from one veteran.

Darious Williams
+$7.5M

Restructures

Five contracts were reworked to create cap flexibility.

Matt Stafford
+$13.8M

Alaric Jackson
+$8.1M

Quentin Lake
+$6.0M

Kyren Williams
+$5.9M

Poona Ford
+$3.6M

Extensions

The Rams locked up several important young players.

Kobie Turner

Trent McDuffie

These extensions secured key contributors on both sides of the ball.

Trade

The Rams made one major move to strengthen their secondary.

Sent 2026 1st Round Pick, 2026 5th Round Pick, 2026 6th Round Pick, and a 2027 3rd Round Pick to KC

Free Agency

The Rams brought back several familiar players while adding one outside addition.

Jimmy Garoppolo — QB (Re-signing)
1yr / $4.6M APY

Kamren Curl — S (Re-signing)

1yr / $2.2M APY

Xavier Smith — WR (Re-signing)
1yr / $1.0M APY

Harrison Mevis — K (Re-signing)
