Getty Images Wade Phillips is a free agent again. The veteran defensive coordinator will not return to the Rams next season, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. The 72-year-old Phillips took the fall for a defense full of expensive veteran stars not matching the previous...

Getty Images The Patriots not being involved in the divisional round of the playoffs is unusual enough. Having them involved so early in next year’s annual selection meeting will be peculiar as well. With the results of the wild card weekend in the books, four more slots in the 2020 NFL Draft...

Getty Images The NFL’s 12-team playoff field typically undergoes significant turnover. The final eight teams feature an almost complete overhaul from last year’s quarterfinalists. Seven of the eight teams that played in last year’s divisional round won’t be back: the Colts, Chargers, Patriots...

Getty Images The Associated Press has announced the results of this year’s All-Pro voting and two players were selected as first-team choices by all 50 voters. Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas got the unanimous nod after setting a new record for receptions during the 2019 season. Patriots...

Getty Images The Rams and Chargers enter their new venue later this year. And it’s getting closer and closer to completion. In a letter to Rams fans, COO Kevin Demoff writes that the venue is “more than 85% complete, with the roof panel and seat installations underway.” With the new stadium...

Getty Images The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the modern-era finalists for the Class of 2020 on Thursday night. Seven of the 15 finalists made the list for the first time. The inclusion of first-year eligible players Troy Polamalu and Reggie Wayne was expected. They were joined by five...

Getty Images In 2020, Todd Gurley begins the four-year, $57.5 million contract extension he signed in August 2018. It’s prohibitive — and pointless — for the Rams to cut him. So what do they do with him? He had a career-low 223 carries, a career-low 857 yards and a career-low 1,064 yards from...

Getty Images The Rams didn’t make the playoffs. They don’t have a first-round pick until 2022, and they haven’t had one since 2016. They’ll have roughly half their salary cap tied up in five guys next year, with some not-insignificant holes to fill. But General Manager Les Snead still likes...

Getty Images The Rams aren’t heading to the playoffs this season and that left them playing for nothing but the pride that comes with securing a winning record against the Cardinals in Week 17. They beat Arizona 31-24 to give themselves a 9-7 mark on the year and one of their players was also...

Getty Images The Rams have underachieved by any measure this season, but they’re playing a decent game to close the year. They’re up 17-10 on the Cardinals at halftime, as they close out the Los Angeles Coliseum. They took advantage of a pair of Kyler Murray fumbles, and a sharp half by Jared...

Getty Images The Rams fell short of every expectation this season, and now the question becomes how they fix it. They beat the Cardinals 31-24 Sunday to finish 9-7, but that’s far below what anyone or they themselves imagined after a Super Bowl run. Their problem is going all-in by trading...

Getty Images Eric Weddle wasn’t ready to say he was done playing. But he has a pretty good idea he’s done playing for the Rams. Via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, the veteran safety said he’s unsure what comes next, but understands the Rams are likely moving forward with John Johnson and rookie...

Getty Images Only 12 teams are still in business this morning, which means 20 of them are in full offseason mode. At least one of them’s on the clock, but perhaps two as the Bengals’ expected selection of Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow from LSU will clear the way for Washington to pick...

Getty Images The Rams said goodbye to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1979 when they moved to Anaheim, but it turned out that farewell was not forever. The Rams moved back to the Coliseum when they left St. Louis four years ago and have played home games there while building their new...

Getty Images It’s now a given that Washington president Bruce Allen will no longer be running the football operation in D.C. after today. What isn’t known is what will happen next for Allen. He may stay with the team in a different role. He may leave the team completely. And if he leaves the...

Getty Images The Cardinals promoted a quarterback from the practice squad to fill in for the possible absence of Kyler Murray for Sunday’s game against the Rams, but it doesn’t look like they’ll need to use Drew Anderson. Murray was listed as questionable on Friday because of the hamstring...

Getty Images As the 2019 regular season ends, an irregular 2020 offseason could be looming. Free agency currently promises to consist of a laundry list of quarterbacks with recognizable names. And while contracts done (and/or tags applied) between now and the middle of March could remove some...

Getty Images The Rams were willing to roll the dice, and trade for Jalen Ramsey for games like Week 17 and beyond. As it turns out, it doesn’t matter, and Ramsey isn’t playing anyway. The cornerback is inactive for today’s meaningless finale against the Cardinals, out with a knee injury...

Getty Images The Ravens announced a contract extension with cornerback Marcus Peters on Saturday. The deal is for three years, worth $42 million and includes $32 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Peters will get $20.5 million in the first year, per Schefter. Peters, 26...

Getty Images With Kyler Murray iffy for Sunday’s game because of a hamstring injury, the Cardinals promoted quarterback Drew Anderson from the practice squad Saturday. Brett Hundley will start if Murray is unable to play, with Anderson serving as the backup. Anderson joined the Cardinals’...
