The Los Angeles Rams wanted to keep Tutu Atwell off of the market so badly last year that they signed him to a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $10 million. Now at the start of the new league year and teams rapidly gobbling up the best free agents in the last three days, there hasn’t been a single peep about Atwell.
He won’t get anything close to $10 million in 2026 and it’s possible that his guarantee is in the five-digits instead of eight digits.
Here are the Rams unsigned free agents so far:
QB Jimmy Garoppolo
WR Tutu Atwell
RB Ronnie Rivers
TE Nick Vannett
T DJ Humphries
LB Troy Reeder
CB Roger McCreary
CB Cobie Durant
CB Ahkello Witherspoon
CB Derion Kendrick
LS Jake McQuaide
Who will the Rams keep?
We know that the additions of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson likely means the end of the tenures of most, if not all, of L.A.’s four unsigned cornerbacks. Another, Darious Williams, recently announced his retirement. A player like McCreary, who fits better in the slot than outside, is even less likely to return at this point.
The Rams signed a new longsnapper this week, meaning the end for McQuaide. Another player who probably won’t be back is Vannett since the Rams did sign Tyler Higbee to a new two-year contract.
There were rumors of the Cardinals’ interest in Jimmy Garoppolo, but his remaining availability keeps him open as an option for L.A.‘s backup position again.
So the Rams may end up parting with 100% of their free agents with the most likely player to return being Garoppolo.
