1. K.J. Wright

Dating back to last offseason, linebacker was one of the weaker positions surrounding the Rams, and while the team made out well with the risk they took in acquiring Dante Fowler Jr. before the trade deadline, there’s no guarantee the former first-round pick will return.

Of course, if Los Angeles ends up using the franchise tag once again, Fowler seems like the best candidate to take home the honors this year, although the Rams need to decide if all that money would be worth it.

Still, even if Fowler returns to Los Angeles for the 2019 season, the defense could use another strong linebacker or two, which is where K.J Wright could come into play.

Similar to Thomas, Wright will forever be appreciated by Seahawks fans for everything he’s done for the defense over the last eight seasons, although they wish this past season would have seen better results instead of the linebacker held to playing in just five games due to a knee injury.

Whether it’s Seattle or another team like Los Angeles, Wright knows that he’s in for a hefty new deal since teams know exactly what he’s capable of when healthy. With the Rams in need of help at linebacker along with the opportunity for Wright to face his former team twice a year, this almost seems like too good of a fit for both parties.
