How would you feel about a Rams reunion with Jalen Ramsey? Drafting a quarterback, 2026 Free Agents, and guys named Dan Reeves, Marshall Faulk, Mike Jones, and Rich Saul.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2024, Ramsey thrived at wide corner, slot corner, and in the box. He turns 31 this October.<\/p>\n

I like Ramsey, he can do so many different things, but the issue is his contract. Just looking at his cap hits:
\n2025: 16.6
\n2026: 25 (18.4-Dead)
\n2027: 26.8 (11.7-Dead)
\n2028: 36.1 (4.9-Dead)<\/p>\n

This season it’s reasonable, but it could become problematic in 2026 as Ramsey gets deeper into his thirties.<\/p>\n

I’d be happy to accommodate if the Dolphins want to pick up some of the salary and take less in trade.<\/p>\n

***
\nKeep hearing Jalen Milroe talk. Good with Milroe\u2014in a trade back, but not at #26.<\/p>\n

If Shedeur Sanders at #26\u2014take him. I’d be tempted to take Jaxon Dart at #26.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the draft, all the mocks show Michigan TE Colston Loveland as available #26, but I don’t see him getting by the Chargers.<\/p>\n

***
\nBecause it’s never too early. These are the Rams free agents heading into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Kyren Williams, Rob Havenstein, Quentin Lake, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Higbee, Alex Ward, Kam Curl, Jimmy G., Cobie Durant, Ahkello Witherspoon, Derion Kendrick\u2026and the usual suspects: Shaun Jolly, Tanner Ingle, Keir Thomas, Ronnie Rivers, Larrell Murchison, A.J. Arcuri\u2026<\/p>\n

Reeves, 29, bought the Rams in 1941. The team won a title in 1945 and then moved to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Under Reeves, the Rams were the first major sports team to come to the coast.<\/p>\n

They broke the NFL color line with Kenny Washington and Woody Strode.<\/p>\n

Employed a full-time scouting staff, which paid off with finals appearances in 1949, 1950, and 1951 (another championship).<\/p>\n

It was also under Reeves that the Rams helmet design came about.<\/p>\n

Reeves was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1967.<\/p>\n
