The Los Angeles Rams remain technically in the playoff hunt, but barring a Super Bowl run, their 2024 season is winding down. With that in mind, it’s time to look ahead to key decisions for the 2025 campaign. General Manager Les Snead faces several important calls to secure talent before free agency reshapes the roster.
Key 2024 Free Agents for the Rams
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB
While Jimmy Garoppolo has yet to start a game this season, his role as a backup quarterback remains critical. Without a reliable option behind Matthew Stafford, the Rams could face significant risks, as seen with other teams plagued by quarterback injuries. Whether it’s Garoppolo or another experienced veteran, locking in a backup should be a top priority. Garoppolo’s Super Bowl experience makes him a valuable asset, even if the team explores drafting a quarterback in April.
Alaric Jackson, LT
Left tackle is one of the most vital positions on the offensive line, protecting Stafford’s blind side and preventing costly turnovers. Alaric Jackson has proven his worth with a strong 2024 season, earning a solid 74.8 PFF grade. Securing Jackson with a new deal would stabilize the line and maintain continuity in one of the Rams’ most crucial roles.
Demarcus Robinson, WR
Demarcus Robinson has emerged as a reliable red-zone threat, recording seven touchdowns this season after scoring four last year. Stafford has shown trust in Robinson in critical moments, making his return a logical move. At 30 years old, Robinson likely won’t demand a top-tier contract, but a two-year deal with strong first-year incentives could keep him in Los Angeles.
With key positions at stake, Snead will need to act decisively this offseason to position the Rams for success in 2025. Prioritizing these free agents could be the first step in ensuring the team remains competitive in the years ahead.
