The Los Angeles Rams roster is running far below the NFL average on the defensive side of the football. But that will change throughout the next several seasons. In 2026, the Rams will need to extend DT Kobie Turner and OLB Byron Young. In 2027, the Rams will need to extend DT Braden Fiske and OLB Jared Verse.
And there will likely be many other defensive stars seeking extensions over the next two seasons.
Contract negotiations do not happen in a single meeting. Nor can a player and an NFL team reach an agreement for one hour.
