**Woodland Hills, CA** – The Los Angeles Rams have begun reshaping their roster ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The team announced the waiver of cornerback Tre Tomlinson, a 2023 sixth-round draft pick who missed the entire 2024 season due to injury. Tomlinson, a former TCU standout, contributed primarily on special teams during his rookie year.
Meanwhile, the Rams secured key pieces for the future. Offensive lineman Alaric Jackson received a three-year contract extension, while the team tendered exclusive rights free agent Dylan McMahon. In a significant move, quarterback Matthew Stafford agreed to a restructured contract, keeping him in Los Angeles.
General Manager Les Snead’s pre-free agency press conference hinted at further roster activity. The team is reportedly interested in Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden, who impressed at the NFL combine with a blazing 40-yard dash time. With linebacker, cornerback, and wide receiver needs identified, the Rams are expected to be active in free agency, which begins nine days from the conclusion of the combine. The team will have a $279.2 million salary cap to work with.
The Rams’ offseason moves also include evaluating other free agents, such as wide receiver Tyler Johnson, as they look to build a competitive team for the upcoming season. Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse’s known trash-talking skills were also mentioned in the pre-free agency discussion.
