The Los Angeles Rams will likely not add another quarterback before the 2026 season begins. Head coach Sean McVay indicated that the team has not discussed signing a veteran quarterback, suggesting they will rely on Matthew Stafford as the starter and either Stetson Bennett or Ty Simpson as backup. Prior to the NFL Draft, there were discussions about signing a veteran, but those plans have changed. With Kirk Cousins now with the Raiders and Jimmy Garoppolo contemplating retirement, the Rams’ quarterback situation seems set for now.
