-- Cooper Kupp Drawing Trade Interest --
Sat Oct 19, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NFL.com reports sources say during a frenzy of receiver calls that teams began calling the Los Angeles Rams to inquire about the status of WR Cooper Kupp, who is recovering from a high ankle sprain he suffered on Sept. 15 and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Las Vegas. The 1-4 Rams have not turned the page to 2025 and even considering a trade for Kupp would be complicated and multi-faceted. But the interest from teams is there, thanks in part to some of the online speculation that has happened since the season began. Plenty of teams doing research on receivers have him on their list.

You could see he's really locked in and engaged in the meeting setting. As far as what his actual process will be in training camp, we'll see where he's at. He does such a great job, understands his body, and so I don't think we want to pigeonhole ourselves into one approach. Alright, how's he feeling? What does it look like relative to when (Head Team Physician) Neal ElAttrache checks up on him and what's going to be the best thing for him, not only for hopefully being ready to go for the opener, but for the totality of the season," McVay said.

-- Will Matthew Stafford Show for OTAs? --
Sat May 18, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports after the Los Angeles Rams didn’t use a first-round draft pick on a quarterback, QB Matthew Stafford’s camp made it known he wants a new contract. To date, he has yet to get one. His only leverage that doesn’t entail a potential fine consists of staying away from OTAs. For the Rams, they start Monday. So it’s fair to wonder whether Stafford will be there. Complicating matters for the Rams is the fact that the guy who got the hot-potato-to-Detroit treatment, QB Jared Goff, recently got a contract worth $53 million per year in new money — and that has a practical guarantee of $148 million at signing. Stafford specifically wants more guaranteed money beyond 2024, which would keep the Rams from cutting him after this season. (He currently has only $10 million in fully guaranteed compensation for 2025.) The fact that Goff will get more than $75 million in cash this year becomes another potential issue for Stafford, whose payout from the Rams in 2024 is $31 million.

-- Rams Don't Want to Run Down Kyren Williams --
Fri May 10, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NFL.com reports the Los Angeles Rams used a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Michigan RB Blake Corum to play in tandem with RB Kyren Williams. GM Les Snead recently said part of the rationale for the pick was ensuring the Rams didn't overload Williams. "A lot of people have said he's similar (to Williams)," Snead said of Corum. "They have a very similar play style. They both really, really care about football. That's very important on that side of the ball. That's a sophisticated side of the ball. We're a relatively advanced, veteran offense, so you definitely are going to need to bring a care factor to be able to get up to speed and be able to function and fit right in and keep the thing humming. It's a tough league; it's a 17-game season plus playoffs, might go to 18 games one day. So we always felt like we needed to have as many quality runners as possible so we don't just totally run down Kyren, and we have one or two, or even three guys that can contribute, keep everyone fresh, and let's go and try to impose our will."

-- Sean McVay Speaks on Matthew Stafford --
Sat Apr 27, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports Los Angeles Rams HC Sean McVay did his best, as he often does, to tiptoe around the topic of QB Mattew Stafford's contract issues of no guarantees. Is the report that Stafford wants more guarantees accurate? “Yeah, I’ve had good dialogue with Matthew,” McVay said. “We’ll keep those things in house, but he’s been working with our guys and we’ll keep those things in house.” Will Stafford by present for OTAs, the key third phase of the offseason program? “He’s been working with our guys the last couple weeks,” McVay said. “And so that’s kind of where we’re at with that.”

-- Rams Like Pairing of Blake Corum with Kyren Williams --
Sat Apr 27, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports the Los Angeles Rams used a third-round draft pick on Michigan RB Blake Corum on Friday night, and HC Sean McVay thinks Corum is a perfect pairing with the Rams’ current starting running back. RB Kyren Williams, who led the Rams with 1,144 rushing yards last season, plays the game the same way Corum does, according to McVay. “One of the things that jumped off is there’s a lot of traits that reminded me of Kyren Williams,” McVay said. “Obviously I love Kyren and he’s been so important, and just the human being, but then also when you just look at the way he works at it, the production and the things that he was able to bring to our offense last year, and even really some of the things that he worked through his rookie year. I think there’s a lot of similarities.”

-- Matthew Stafford Wants Guarantees Beyond 2024 --
Fri Apr 26, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

Stafford is seeking an adjustment to his contract that would provide him with more guaranteed money beyond 2024. Although Stafford is participating in voluntary workouts, the report says his contract request is “a lingering offseason issue for the Rams.” It’s unclear what the status is of Stafford’s contract negotiations, and also unclear how far he’s willing to take it, including whether he could threaten to hold out or even retire if the Rams don’t meet his demands.

Fri Apr 19, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports Los Angeles Rams CB Tre'Davious White (Achilles) signed a one-year deal and said this week that the role his new team would play with his return to action was one of the things he considered before adding his name to the contract. “Very transparent, just very authentic, the plan that they have in place,” White said. “I’m a guy that’s very strategic [with] my approach of how I would want my rehab to go, being that I’ve had an ACL before and I know how rehab can go. So I was doing my homework. This team has rehab guys that have been very successful with the Achilles before.” White said he’s been listening to the Rams and his doctor and that “so far it’s been good.” He added that he’ll continue to be “very transparent” about how he’s feeling in order to ensure that the process has the best possible outcome this fall.

He’s on a revenge tour. He’s been able to get a healthy offseason and stuff so he’s back at it,” Nacua said.

Tue Mar 26, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

Because of the timing, even in March HC Sean McVay was ready to say at the league meeting that Higbee will be placed on the physically unable to perform list this summer. “You just feel terrible with Tyler Higbee getting injured,” McVay said. “He’s meant so much to our team, but you know he’s gonna be a PUP guy for sure. Don’t know exactly when to expect them back, but being able to have somebody in addition to what Davis Allen did, I think that gives us the opportunity to maybe mix up some personnel groupings, and then hopefully having Hunter Long come back. And really, really fortunate to be able to have [tight ends coach/pass game coordinator] Nick Caley stay, because he had some opportunities to leave. I’m glad we kept that crazy guy around, he’s a hell of a coach.”
