Analyst ranks Rams' offseason fourth-best in NFL behind Browns

On June 23, 2026, CBS Sports analyst Josh Edwards ranked the Los Angeles Rams' offseason as the fourth-best in the NFL, citing significant investments in their roster. The Rams focused on enhancing their defensive secondary with high-profile acquisitions like Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie while retaining their entire starting offense from 2025. However, despite these efforts, the Rams' offseason was rated lower than that of the Cleveland Browns. The Rams' selection of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 provides insurance for starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. Ongoing concerns include the legal issues surrounding left tackle Alaric Jackson. Edwards praised the Rams' ability to secure long-term contracts for key players, allowing for a competitive team structure beyond Stafford’s tenure.
