Allen Robinson and Leonard Floyd were given permission to seek trades, as of this morning. Leonard Floyd was also told if a trade can't be made prior to the league year, the Rams will be releasing him to save on the 2023 cap. Although the salary cap increased over the past year, the Rams have some immensely difficult decisions to make: across free agency, and across their own roster BEFORE the league year begins on March 15th. How will they do it, and what are some moves that feel like they're bound to happen in time? They've certainly cut their losses and made some really tough decisions in years prior -- but this year, they really have their work cut out for them.

The Jalen Ramsey trade rumors are CONTINUING to circulate, and it's starting to feel real. Based on Ramsey's IG post today (drawing comparisons to Iverson's final days in Philadelphia) and the comments Ian Rapoport made on Pat McAfee's show today, the reports are very conflicting thus far. We take you through what a trade featuring Jalen Ramsey may look like by going back over the last 30-40 years and reviewing some of the biggest trades in NFL history. If the Rams are going to deal Ramsey, it has to be for a massive return, and an opportunity for the Rams to "re-tool" their core/roster.

The Rams and Bobby Wagner have mutually decided to part ways, in effort to provide Wagner with a full offseason in pursuit of his next destination. There are a few places that may be a fit for Wagner, but cutting ties really begs a much deeper question: how important is the middle linebacker position in today's NFL? Additionally, we dive into the potential for Robert Woods to come back to Los Angeles, and look at proven LT's who've been recently released to get a better understanding of IF the Rams should eventually look to upgrade the position that protects Matthew Stafford's blindside. All of that, plus some detail on when the Rams expect to finalize their coaching staff. 

The Rams have until March 15th (roughly 2.5 weeks) to decide on which unrestricted free agents they're planning on having return for the 2023-2024 season, and there are roughly 5 or so that we'd plan on prioritizing. The others will either be commanding plenty of $$ in free agency, or just haven't produced enough in their time with the Rams. Additionally, we look at the other unrestricted free agents throughout the league, and what position groups need the most help -- are the Rams in-business to make another huge free agency splash at a key position of need?

The Jalen Ramsey trade rumors are starting to circulate -- but do we believe any of it to actually be true? Based on Kevin Demoff's most recent remarks, it seems the Rams may start thinking about moving Ramsey in the right situation. Additionally, we list three names that we really would like the Rams to bring on (Aubrey Pleasant being one) to help round out the coaching staff, and why Sean McVay's 6-year ride has been made increasingly difficult because of all the coaches that have been a) poached, or b) asked to leave on their own terms.

After hearing the news that Shane Steichen is expected to finalize his deal as the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Rams fans can rejoice over the fact that their favorite defensive coordinator (Raheem Morris) is staying put. We also recapped the Super Bowl, what makes the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes duo so great, why the Eagles and Jalen Hurts are destined to return (and put on the best show fans could ask for) and looked at the upcoming Super Bowl odds for next season to see where the Rams are sitting.

Rams hire OL coach Ryan Wendell from the Buffalo Bills, who spent his entire playing career with the New England Patriots. Now, the Rams are staffed up with two names who are familiar with the "Belichickian way" in Nick Caley and Ryan Wendell, and an offensive coordinator in Mike LaFleur who is very familiar with Kyle Shanahan and his system. The offensive staff is coming together, but where does that leave our defensive coordinator, who is being held hostage by Jim Irsay and the Colts, and our special teams coordinator? Additionally, we look at potential options for the new jersey/helmet combo in 2023, and lock in our picks for the Super Bowl.

The Rams narrowed in on Nick Caley from New England, where he has 7 years of experience coaching TE's, FB's, and will act as an assistant to Sean McVay (which is similar to how Sean rose to be a top head coaching candidate). They're also looking at adding John Benton, who has coached in the NFL for over 20 years, and actually started his professional coaching career with the St. Louis Rams, coaching guys like Orlando Pace and Kyle Turley. Years later, he could be coming back to the Rams. Additionally, we dive into the handful of reasons why it would really hurt to lose Raheem Morris at this point, and go through the poll that was casted on Twitter -- leaving the option for fans to vote if they wanted him back or not.

Coaching changes around the league and how they're impacting the Rams (focused on Raheem Morris and where we think he'll end up), figuring out a way to re-tool our offensive line (and comparing to the way the Chiefs overhauled their unit upfront after the 2021 Super Bowl loss), and how the Rams are going to build their next phase of winning with a re-vamped offense under McVay/LaFleur.

The Rams’ coordinator search is continuing – as plenty of moves around the league are being made. We have our eyes on Raheem Morris’ next potential move, as he seems to be one of the favorites for the Colts’ HC position. Ejiro Evero is another name we’ve continued to watch, as he continues to be requested for interviews as a head coach. Outside of that, the Rams have to fill their special teams coordinator role, as well as their offensive line coach – which are two jobs that are going to matter immensely down the stretch. We also took some time to recap the AFC & NFC Championships, as we sat back and enjoyed the pain that San Francisco (and their fans) had to endure in Philadelphia. The Super Bowl is without a doubt going to be fun to watch – and will be an opportunity to keep “Nick’s Picks” alive and well, as they’ve been on fire recently.
