Just when you thought the Rams' offseason couldn't get any more intriguing, Friday dropped a bombshell: Jalen Ramsey has the Rams 'on his radar' for a potential return! While no game graced the field on June 6th, the news cycle was anything but quiet, buzzing with trade talks, bold rookie statements, and a promising outlook for the 2025 season.

The biggest buzz on Friday came via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who reported that former Rams cornerstone Jalen Ramsey, currently with the Miami Dolphins, is eyeing a potential reunion with Los Angeles if he's traded this offseason. While nothing is imminent, Ramsey's familiarity with the system and the Rams' clear need for a secondary upgrade make this a tantalizing prospect. A trade could save the Rams around $10 million in cap space, but Ramsey's hefty $24 million guaranteed salary remains a significant hurdle for any interested team. Still, the thought of Ramsey back in horns is enough to get any fan excited!
Beyond the Ramsey whispers, speculative buzz suggests the Rams could be eyeing an even bigger fish: Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt. While firmly in 'longshot' territory, it's the kind of aggressive, star-chasing move Les Snead and company are known for. More concretely, the unexpected retirement of Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow has put the Rams, with their impressive center depth featuring Beaux Limmer and Dylan McMahon, in a prime position. Don't be surprised if Detroit comes calling, potentially allowing the Rams to leverage this depth for valuable draft picks or reinforcements at another position.
It wasn't all about potential arrivals; current Rams are making noise too! Rookie first-round pick Jared Verse made waves on 'The Adam Schefter Podcast' by playfully challenging none other than Aaron Donald to a workout, claiming the legend was 'not ready' for a modern session. It's the kind of confidence fans love to see. Speaking of impact players, Davante Adams, who joined the Rams this offseason after a turbulent 2024 split between two teams, is reportedly focused on a fresh start in LA. He's expected to form a dynamic duo with breakout star Puka Nacua, giving Matthew Stafford another elite target.
While big names dominate headlines, keep an eye on wide receiver Tutu Atwell. He's been quietly but significantly impressing Rams coaches during offseason activities. His elite speed and continued development could see him carve out a much larger role in the 2025 offense. On the coaching front, the Rams proudly announced their 2025 Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellows: Taylor Embree, Chris Marve, Va'a Niumatalolo, and Greg Stewart. This fantastic initiative continues to provide valuable NFL experience for minority coaches.
In lighter news, Rams defensive back Kam Curl took to social media to voice his displeasure with his portrayal in the Madden NFL 26 trailer, joking he wouldn't buy the game after being 'embarrassed.' Looking at the bigger picture, early analysis of the Rams' 2025 schedule suggests a strong playoff outlook. Despite challenging matchups against teams like the Ravens and Eagles, a favorable stretch within the schedule could be key to contending for the NFC West title and making a deep postseason run.
While the field was empty on Friday, the Rams' front office and locker room were anything but. With potential reunions, blockbuster dreams, and rising stars, the 2025 season is shaping up to be another thrilling chapter. Stay tuned, Horns Up nation, because this offseason is just getting started!
