Key offseason moves

  • Hired Skyler Jones as assistant defensive line coach. Jones replaced Marcus Dixon, who was hired as the Broncos' defensive line coach this offseason, and will work with defensive line coach/run game coordinator Eric Henderson on continuing the sustained success of a pass rush that has generated at least 50 sacks in each of the last three seasons.
  • Signed Jonah Williams to a Reserve/Future contract on Feb. 15. The move was big for depth purposes, keeping Williams – who enters this offseason with two seasons of experience in the Rams' system, having joined the teammate as an undrafted free agent in 2020 – on the roster.
