The Los Angeles Rams added Terrance Ferguson via the draft last year, and he showed some real flashes as a tight end as a rookie, but he also wasn’t always the best tight end on the team. Will Ferguson take a big leap in 2026?
Being a rookie in the NFL is hard, I’ve heard being a rookie tight end is wildly hard because you are a lineman/receiver, and that’s a lot to learn in a playbook, and just the physical position is very challenging.
Add in learning Sean McVay’s complicated scheme, and Ferguson really did have a nice year, but I’d guess he would say he could’ve done more. Well, he can prove that in 2026.
Will he? Great question. Please let us know what you think below! I am almost certain this topic will be discussed further as we get closer and closer to the season kicking off.
Please comment on whatever you want, thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great Saturday and weekend! We made it.
3 Second-Year Rams Who Need a Big Offseason (si.com)
“While Ferguson isn’t in any type of jeopardy, he could be on the verge of a breakout season. It’s clear that Tyler Higbee is no longer the Rams’ TE1, but I’m not so sure Colby Parkinson is either. Parkinson made big plays in 2025, but would sometimes whiff on the easy ones, and a critical drop in the NFC Championship certainly did not help his case.”
Rob Havenstein on Aaron Donald: ‘Literally nobody blocked him’ in practice (ramswire)
“Rob Havenstein, who joined Donald in retirement this offseason, has some experience trying to block the all-world defensive lineman. He was asked on a podcast recently what it was like to go up against him in practice and he says “literally nobody blocked him.”
He even said that if you did luck into stopping Donald one play, you knew the next was not going to go well.“
Rams all in strategy in 2026 may be creating cash chaos for extensions in 2027 (ramblinfan)
“Multiple key contributors from the amazing rookie class of 2023 are up for extensions. Of the group that includes punter Ethan Evans, quarterback Stetson Bennett, right tackle Warren McClendon, left guard Steve Avila, wide receiver Puka Nacue, edge rusher Byron Young, defensive end Desjuan Johnson, and defensive lineman Kobie Turner, who will general manager Les Snead pass up?
If you believe that all will return, you’d better sit down. Even as Los Angeles projects to have over $96 million of available salary cap to spend, it may not be enough. The team will draft seven rookies, sign undrafted rookies, and potentially add additional veteran free agents. All of those actions will shrink that number rather quickly.“
Random Ramsdom Fandom:
“I don’t love the daft pick rule, considering how short lived most modern NFL GM’s tenures are. The current expectation seems to be that if you don’t have a winning within your first two seasons you’re out, so mortgaging the far future would be extremely tempting for a GM and very detrimental to a team if the moves didn’t translate to team success (the team could find themselves in a position where they need to hire a new GM, but what good candidate would want to sign on to a team with no foreseeable significant draft capital?).
I could really see some desperate GM trading away their three, four and five year-away 1sts in an all-in move (say for a previously good but aging QB), knowing that they’re not actually taking on much risk at all because if it doesn’t pan out then it likely won’t be their problem anyway.“ -croaker
