1. Cory Littleton

To say the Rams are getting Cory Littleton at an absolute steal contract wise would be a huge understatement since the linebacker is coming off a Pro Bowl year in 2018, and is only going to get better with experience.

Back in May, Littleton signed his tender with Los Angeles that will pay him $3.095 million for the 2019 season, making it clear that it’s only a matter of time before the Rams will need to address the situation if they want him around long-term.

As mentioned before, Los Angeles has numerous players worthy of receiving an extension before the 2019 season officially comes to an end, but it’s difficult to select any player that seems more worthy than Littleton with the impact he’s been making on defense.

Take a look at the first game of 2019 for the Rams against the Panthers in which Littleton was all over the place for Los Angeles while finishing with 14 total tackles to go along with a forced fumble, and interception.

Give Littleton credit for realizing what’s at stake if he puts together another Pro Bowl season together for the Rams in 2019 since it could not only lead to a hefty pay raise, but also another opportunity to participate in the Super Bowl.
