Well, since the 2025 season has officially concluded for our Rams, may as well start this up
 
1st thing to happen would be the majority of Practice Squad players signing Futures contracts.
Could be as early as tomorrow.

A list of pending free agents. I know some will be re-signed by their team. Some might be cost prohibitive. But it gives you an idea of what could be out there and what it will cost. Corner is probably the single most important position to improve on. Just can't throw a bunch of money at one guy and expect him to be the savior. There are no Jalen Ramsey's out there.

The draft should be where they target their future shut down corner. I'd even say the 13th pick. I'm not a draftnik so I couldn't tell you who is the most likely sure thing. But I'd say if their homework has a guy rated that way and he's there at 13 then go get him.
 
Only pending FA that I'd consider keeping around is Curl. But as a safety and non-elite player I'd say be careful not to overpay him.

Restricteds can stay or go, they're JAGs (Thomas and Hampton). Exclusives I'd keep both of them (Mevis and Dedich).

I don't know why Hamilton would be a bubble candidate ... mid-round pick, low-cap-hit, little cap savings.

Also, Havenstein and Higbee (free agents) are reflected in the above-noted 42 contracts due to Void-status; and count $9M against the cap. However, I am not sure if they Also Count against the 51 player-minimum. @dieterbrock ... any thoughts or opinion on that question?

On sportrac, they show Havenstein and Higbee on the 42 active contracts even though they are onl void year hits and both are UFA
So in reality its only 40 contracts

The Rams signed ten of their Practice Squad players to Reserve/Futures contracts this afternoon ...

OL A.J. Arcuri and Dylan McMahon,
WRs Tru Edwards, Brennan Presley and Tyler Scott,
DBs Tanner Ingle and Cam Lampkin,
LB Elias Neal, DL Bill Norton and TE Mark Redman.

S Nate Valcarcel was signed a couple days ago. G Wyatt Bowles and WR Mario Williams last week.

Every once-in-a-while these guys turn-out to be contributors.

I think Redman has a shot to make the roster if they don't go TE high in this draft. Could be TE4.
