Nate Landman had a career changing year, and a life changing one. He received an extension from the Los Angeles Rams potentially solidifying his next couple/few season in the NFL, and he secured the type of money that could set his family up for life.
Landman started the year strong, and he was solid throughout, but I would guess he (like many of the players) would’ve liked to played just a bit better in the NFC Championship Game.
Can Landman build on his breakout season? Fair question, but if he can keep forcing fumbles, then I would guess the Rams will be glad they have him.
Thank you for checking out Turf Show times and have a great Tuesday!
2025 Breakout: Nate Landman brought turnover creation, leadership in career-best season (rams.com)
“The Rams’ efforts to shore up their run defense last season included signing former Falcons linebacker Nate Landman to a one-year deal.
He outplayed the contract so quickly, the team signed him to a three-year contract extension in November. Landman went on to set career-highs in total tackles, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries by the end of the regular season.“
Rams trade proposal sends first-round pick to Chiefs for All-Pro CB for ‘all-in’ deal (sports.yahoo.com)
“The Los Angeles Rams came up just short of making it to the Super Bowl, where they likely would’ve been able to beat the New England Patriots.
Fortunately, the Rams will have another shot in 2026, as Matthew Stafford is coming back. With the Rams ready to go “all-in” after Stafford’s return, there’s a very interesting trade option the Rams could take this offseason.
As ESPN’s Bill Barnwell proposed, the Rams could trade a 2026 first-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. But, with two first-rounders, 13th and 29th overall, the pick the Rams would send in this deal matters a lot.“
“When the Los Angeles Rams signed Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein to their most recent contracts, they tacked on void years for salary cap purposes. That allowed the team to spread money out after the contracts expired, lowering each player’s cap hits at the cost of paying more after their deals end.
Well, the bill has come due because both contracts have officially voided. Havenstein, despite retiring, leaves behind a dead cap charge of $6.97 million on the Rams’ books. That was going to go on the Rams’ salary cap regardless of whether he left in free agency, retired or re-signed with Los Angeles.“
