​We have wrapped up another week of the NFL offseason, and although there isn’t a lot of action involving the Arizona Cardinals, it’s a good moment to survey the rest of the NFC West and catch up on what the Cardinals’ division rivals have been up to. So, what’s new with the Los Angeles Rams?
Here are several recent Rams stories Cardinals fans should be aware of from the past week. The Cardinals, in their ongoing effort to strengthen the trenches, feel confident about their new guard tandem after signing Isaac Seumalo and selecting Chase Bisontis in the second round. Meanwhile, the Rams already boasted one of the league’s stronger guard duos, with Kevin Dotson and Steve Avila anchoring the interior.
On defense, Los Angeles added a notable upgrade with the acquisition of cornerback Trent McDuffie in a recent trade. McDuffie has quickly established himself as a top-tier corner, a welcome boost for the Rams’ secondary. There has also been talk about the possibility of legendary defensive tackle Aaron Donald returning to football in 2026, a timeline that has sparked plenty of discussion. The fuel for those rumors was stoked when Donald was spotted at the Rams’ training facility.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford enjoyed a standout season in 2025, earning league MVP honors. Yet, even the impressive numbers suggest there were some missed plays due to dropped passes, which, if corrected, could have pushed his performance even higher.
Offensively, the Rams leaned on Davante Adams in the red zone, where he finished with 14 receiving touchdowns, the most by any Rams player since 2000 within a single season. The Rams targeted Adams 16 times inside the five-yard line, underscoring his vital role in their scoring efficiency.
