What's next

The group is anchored by Young recently named No. 84 on NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 and looks to find reliable depth during the offseason. Stewart provided good snaps as a rookie and although the Rams didn't select an outside linebacker in the 2026 NFL Draft, they did pick up three undrafted free agents along with signing and re-signing a player to try and provide more depth.
