The Los Angeles Rams added Tre’davious White, Colby Parkinson and Jonah Jackson in the offseason.

As Rams rest in their BYE week, here are 3 free agents who haven’t panned out (ramblinfan)

“When the LA Rams signed former All-Pro defensive back Tre’Davious White, the team was wise enough to make the contract incentivized with performance clauses that escalated the value of the contract. That is the only saving grace to White’s addition to the team so far in 2024. The base contract is one year worth $4.25 million. But that contract skyrockets to $8.5 million if White plays in 60 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.

I’m all about paying a player what he’s worth. But Tre White is not worth that escalator.

As is the case with many players appearing on this list, White’s performance in 2024 has been horrendous, particularly compared to his NFL career prior to arriving to the Rams. For starters, White is averaging one touchdown allowed per game. He has already tied his season worst of touchdowns allowed in 2020, a season in which he started in 14 games.”

Will Matthew Stafford be a potential trade candidate? (nbcsports)

“In 2011, the Bengals and quarterback Carson Palmer were at impasse. Two days before the trade deadline, Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a broken collarbone. That sparked a Palmer trade to Oakland.

Again, all it takes is one. (We won’t name names, so that we won’t be accused to conjuring a dreaded jinx.)

That said, the Rams could still get hot. They’re off this week. If they can win in Week 7, 8, and 9, they might decide to let it ride with Stafford.”

Rams’ Matthew Stafford is Trying Hand at TV Analyst With Team on Bye (si.com)

“When professional athletes decide to retire from their respective sports, some elect to go into media as sports analysts. We have seen former NFL legends like Tony Romo, Greg Olsen, and most recently Tom Brady all transition into life in the analyst booth. For fans, they get the opportunity to still indulge in their favorite players but can learn from these athletes turned analysts due to their years of live-action experience.

Los Angeles Ram quarterback Matthew Stafford is spending his bye week as a football analyst on Fox Sports. The former number-one overall pick in 2009 out of the University of Georgia has put together an impressive NFL resume. Stafford is the most decorated quarterback in Detroit Lions franchise history, while also leading the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 2022.”
