Random Ramsdom: Embrace being the talk of the NFL

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 2/27/25

Good morning any and all fans of the Los Angeles Rams! Turf Show Times has been covering the Matthew Stafford rumors and news as best it can, but the hits just keep on coming. Though it may be nauseating, allow me to offer this perspective: Enjoy the Rams being relevant. Embrace the moment.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs came close to winning their third in a row, the combine is going on and the biggest stories lately are what is going to happen to Matthew Stafford? Compared to there being no news and having nothing to write or talk about, this isn’t so bad!

Of course, some silence will be needed, but for now I say enjoy the noise! The slow news days will be there again.

Please comment on whatever you want, thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great Thursday! Friday is coming.

5 potential trade destinations for Rams’ Matthew Stafford (sports.yahoo)

“As scouting combine week progresses, The Athletic reported Wednesday that Stafford is drawing interest from multiple teams, with the Rams allowing his camp to seek possible offers.

Stafford, 37, is entering the final year of a four-year, $160 million deal and could look for one more lucrative contract before he hangs up his cleats.

After winning the Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021 in his first season after being traded by the Detroit Lions, Stafford hasn’t had a deep run since. The Rams lost to the Lions in the 2024 wild card round before falling to the eventual champions Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 divisional round.”

“I really appreciate Jonah on how he handled [the situation],” McVay said. “A starting-level player … there are a lot of teams that would love to have Jonah Jackson at guard. … He put the team first in terms of just showing up, going to work and being a really good ‘scout teamer.’”

According to OvertheCap.com, the Rams would take an $11.3 million dead money hit if they trade Jackson before June 1. He is scheduled to have a $9 million base salary in 2025.”

Aaron Rodgers Rumors: Jets QB Prefers to Play for Rams, Would Want Davante Adams in LA (bleacherreport)

“The Rams are reportedly planning to rework Stafford’s contract after a 2024 renegotiation left the quarterback without significant guaranteed money for 2025. Any potential interest in Rodgers would hinge on the Rams deciding to scrap negotiations and move on from Stafford before next season.

The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue recently reported that Rams representatives are expected to meet with Stafford’s agent at the NFL Scouting Combine, which begins on Thursday in Indianapolis.”
