Bleav in Rams

Free agency is a month away, and the Los Angeles Rams have decisions to make.

Before the market opens, the front office has a window to lock up their own players on expiring deals. After starting the offseason with 20 pending free agents, that number now sits at 19 following Rob Havenstein’s retirement. Quentin Lake and Nate Landman were already taken care of with extensions last season, trimming the true question marks.

So who matters most?

In this episode of Bleav in Rams, Erin Coscarelli and Ryan Anderson of LAFB Network rank all 19 Rams free agents from most to least important and break down:

• Which starters are absolute priorities
• Who could be replaced through the draft
• Where the market might get expensive
• Which departures would quietly hurt more than fans expect
• And how these decisions shape the Rams’ short- and long-term window

This is the roadmap to the Rams’ offseason. Who stays, who walks, and what it all signals about where this team is headed next.

In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by FanDuel, Erin Coscarelli is joined by former NFL quarterback and co-host of The Simms Complete Show, Matt Simms to dissect the ageless wonder of Matthew Stafford.

Winning his first MVP at 37, the big question surfaces...is a drop-off coming? Simms makes the case for why Stafford is an “ageless thrower,” what separates his arm talent from everyone else, and why this trait makes him one of one. We get into how his throwing mechanics, anticipation, and mental processing project into the future and what it says about his longevity.

And the hard conversation Rams must think about... When do you look to the future if you have a quarterback like Stafford? When is the right time to plan ahead without disrupting a championship window?

We start with Puka Nacua. Are the early bumps just natural growth pains for a young star? Simms explains why it’s not cause for concern yet and what development actually looks like from a quarterback’s perspective.

Sean McVay as an educator and how that impacts his coaching tree - how hard is it to constantly replace new coordinators? Simms shares his honest opinion of McVay the human, not just McVay the 'play caller.'

Plus we take his pulse on how he really felt about the Bad Bunny halftime show and his experience in San Francisco for SBLX!

Phil and Matt Simms open the episode by discussing the Giants’ offseason uncertainty after losing out on Todd Monken, breaking down what John Harbaugh should prioritize in finding the right offensive coordinator for quarterback Jaxson Dart. The conversation then shifts to the NFL Hall of Fame, with Phil delivering a passionate critique of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot inductee, calling it a failure of the voting system and questioning the credibility of the process.

The second half of the show focuses on the NFL awards, with the Simms giving their own picks for Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, & MVP. Phil strongly argues that Matthew Stafford deserves MVP, while also pushing back against the league’s quarterback-heavy award culture and advocating for greater recognition of defensive stars like Myles Garrett. The episode wraps with a broader discussion about how awards should evolve to better reflect football as a true team sport rather than a quarterback-only competition.
