Los Angeles

Rams

Kendrick is a four-year veteran of the league who split time between the Rams and Seahawks last season. The former sixth-round pick has started in 18 of the 47 games he appeared in for his career, and totaled two interceptions and five pass breakups in 10 games with the Seahawks last season. Kendrick has played almost exclusively on the outside in his NFL career and could provide the Cowboys some added depth if he makes the roster the summer.

Witherspoon, 31, gets a one-year deal. The signing reunites the veteran cornerback with Commanders general manager Adam Peters. Witherspoon entered the NFL as a third-round pick with the 49ers back in 2017, the same year that Peters was hired as the 49ers’ vice president of player personnel. Witherspoon intercepted one pass while playing in eight games last year.

Witherspoon missed a lot of last season with a shoulder injury and wound up playing just 186 snaps for the Rams in 2024. Entering his age-32 season, he’d probably only be fighting for a roster spot if the Commanders decided to sign him.

Rivers has been Los Angeles’ third back for most of the last four years, rushing 72 times for 295 yards in the process. He has not crossed the 100-snap threshold on offense, but does play plenty on special teams. Rivers probably won’t ever be a fantasy cog, but he’s a useful depth back.

In other words, Hunter is simply waiting on Blake Corum or Kyren Williams to actually miss time. When neither of them did, he managed only five active games and zero offensive snaps. It’s early to cut bait with Hunter in dynasty leagues, but he certainly isn’t giving off any “must keep” vibes at this point.

Murchison signed a one-year deal last offseason to remain with the Rams. He played sparingly on defense but still managed to total eight tackles, two TFLs, and two sacks. He has served primarily as a backup since first joining the Rams in 2022 and will likely play a similar role next season.

According to Garafolo, based on his conversations, he believes Nacua’s extension may need to wait until the summer. Nacua, whose 4,191 receiving yards are second only to Ja’Marr Chase since entering the league in 2023, is due a big payday that will likely top the record-setting extension Jaxon Smith-Njigba just signed with the Seahawks. Nacua is entering the final year of his rookie contract, so we would expect a deal to get done before the start of the new league year. Nacua posted career-highs across the board last season, going for 129-1,715-10 while soaking up a league-high 129 targets.

Ferguson dealt with a late-season hamstring injury that masked how his snaps and targets were growing late in the year. The Rams have enough weaponry that it’s hard to believe Ferguson would be a consistent TE1 this year without injuries ahead of him, but we could absolutely see TE1 games from him in his second season.

He also adds that a Day 2 selection is in play. Neither Davante Adams nor Puka Nacua are likely going to see their 2026 production threatened by a rookie wideout, but Adams is in the final year of his contract and the depth at the position hasn’t shown much for the Rams. Konata Mumpfield, who played outside while Adams was dealing with a hamstring injury late in the season, would figure to lose major dynasty stock if the Rams spent an early pick on a wideout.

From the outside, it’s been a very puzzling free agency for Garoppolo. He was a rumored fit in Arizona and Miami, and it seemed like it was assumed that he’d return to the Rams when the Cardinals inked Gardner Minshew. But it’s been weeks since then and there’s been no clarity on his status. It sure doesn’t seem like there are better options for him out there than returning as the Rams backup — perhaps the Cardinals are considering trading Jacoby Brissett? — but the report of a fluid market suggests that maybe there are more teams interested than we know about.
