10-6, 2nd NFC West
The window has seemingly shut quickly for the Los Angeles Rams as this roster continues to go in the wrong direction. The books got out of control with high salaries and it has left them with their hands tied. A lot of names left the Rams, like Todd Gurley, Brandin Cooks, Corey Littleton, and Dante Fowler. There weren’t a lot of notable draft picks or signings outside of Leonard Floyd who gives them a pass-rushing option. Los Angeles did draft Cam Akers out of Florida State who is going to have a chance at a starting role in year one.

The Rams had a disappointing 2019 season, finishing with a 9-7 record and missing the playoffs. The year prior, head coach Sean McVay had led the team to a 13-3 record and the team's first Super Bowl appearance since 2001, when they were playing in St. Louis. Despite trading for former All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey midseason, the Rams finished with just the 17th-best defense in terms of points allowed. Of course, the presence of Aaron Donald, who is hands-down the best defensive linemen in the NFL, gives the Rams' defense a chance to compete week in and week out. Replacing Dante Fowler with Leonard Floyd could be beneficial, but the losses of linebackers Cory Littleton and Clay Matthews, safety Eric Weddle, and cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman are concerning. The Rams also lost Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks on the offensive side of the ball, leaving them with a ton of question marks heading into this season. A Sean McVay offense featuring Jared Goff, Robert Woods, and Cooper Kupp should always have strong odds to put up points, but it's up-in-the-air if the Rams did enough to return to the postseason this year.
The Rams' highest-paid player heading into the 2020 season is Jared Goff, the fifth-year quarterback who was the first overall draft pick by the team in 2016. He carries a $28.8 million cap hit this year, a lofty price for a quarterback who has some clear limitations.
Stan Kroenke is the Rams' owner, and also owns the Denver Nuggets (NBA),
Sean McVay is entering his fourth season as the Rams' head coach, a role he has been very successful in. He led the Rams to the playoffs in both of his first two seasons with the team. He has yet to finish with a losing record as a head coach.
The Rams have about $5.2 million in salary-cap space, which is the third-least in the NFL. LA owes $36 million in dead-cap money to former veteran players, most of which ($21 million) is going to Brandin Cooks, the team's former wide receiver. The Rams have mismanaged their salary cap situation in recent years.
Todd Gurley is a former Offensive Player of the Year winner, but he joined the Falcons in free agency this year. Replacing him will be the trio of veteran Malcolm Brown, second-year pro Darrell Henderson, and rookie Cam Akers, who was drafted by the team in the second round.
The Rams have five players on their roster who are currently 21 years old including their top three draft picks from this offseason in second-round running back Cam Akers out of Florida State, third-round linebacker Terrell Lewis out of Alabama, and third-round safety Terrell Burgess out of Utah.
The oldest player on the Rams' roster is Andrew Whitworth, who is 38 years old. He's still set to start at offensive tackle for the Rams this season, and he's one of the oldest starters at his position in the NFL. He's a fourteen-year veteran and former two-time First-Team All-Pro tackle.
