"The Rams did it before. In 2021, when the team traded for quarterback Matthew Stafford in January, re-signed edge rusher Leonard Floyd, and bolstered the team late in the season by signing receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and trading for edge rusher Von Miller. The result: A victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI."
"The Rams will downplay the narrative that they are once again going all-in for a chance to win a Super Bowl at home. But with Stafford and star receiver Davante Adams in the final years of their contracts there is an urgency to repeat the feat of 2021."
"If we can use free agency to not be desperate in the draft, we more than likely will be better drafters, because we're not reaching, we're not desperate."
The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for free agency with the goal of winning Super Bowl LXI at their home stadium, SoFi Stadium, in February 2027. No team has previously accomplished this feat. General manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay are working to strengthen the roster, following their successful 2021 strategy that resulted in a Super Bowl LVI victory. With quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Davante Adams in the final years of their contracts, there is urgency to capitalize on this window. The Rams finished 12-5 last season before losing to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC championship game. The team has identified needs at cornerback and receiver, and possesses ten draft picks for 2026, including first-round selections at 13th and 29th overall.
