4 signable NFL free agents options to return LA Rams to NFL Playoffs

The LA Rams have been making decisions at the last possible moment in 2020.  The team cut running back Todd Gurley just as free agency was about to start. The team traded wide receiver Brandin Cooks just before the 2020 NFL Draft began. The team even announced restructuring the contracts of both Jared Goff and Rob Havenstein.

That announcement came long after that became the team’s only option to signing their free agents and draft picks.  All due to the fact that the team had a worst-case scenario occur in 2019 that dropped the team out of the playoffs. The offensive line suffered injuries to all five players, forcing four to the bench. Three defensive backs were swapped out mid-season.  And the team suffered 20 player injuries in 2019.

So the question then becomes how to get hot at the right time.  Timing it right carries a team into the 2020 NFL playoffs on a winning streak.  That’s the same question coach, general managers, front office, and players ask each offseason. The answer for the LA Rams could rest in signing veterans to bolster the offensive line:
