This time they choose UCF's Jacob Harris. To be fair, Harris is a bit of a hybrid receiver that can also lineup as a TE. His larger 6'5" frame will give QB Matthew Stafford an

To be fair, a starter isn't really necessary. The Rams can easily roll with Sebastian Joseph-Day, A'Shawn Robinson and Aaron Donald as the starters.

Thankfully, Blythe is the last starting free agent from the team. This does create big need for the

He didn't come cheaply, agreeing to a 4-year, $64 million contract. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1371590391955214337 To be blunt, the Rams have no cap space. General Manager Les Snead indicated that the Rams will restructure contracts to free

The Los Angeles Rams lost prized safety John Johnson to the Cleveland Browns on a 3-year, $33.75 million contract with $24 million guaranteed. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1371557731258269696 Considering the Rams' salary cap disaster, it's not entirely surprising that Johnson will not return in 2021. To be fair, the Rams also have Taylor Rapp,

Tyler Higbee, Gerald Everett and Johnny Mundt all returned, but the Rams added rookie Brycen Hopkins. The fourth rounder didn't have much of a role in 2020, being buried on the roster.
