Even though I expect the Los Angeles Rams to go the cheap route on special teams this offseason, because that’s what they’ve always done since Sean McVay became the head coach, I will still continue to encourage the team to give kicker slightly more than a passing thought this time around. The Rams suffered at kicker in 2020 and 2023, both times opting to go with players that no other teams wanted and cycling through a lot of bad choices.
L.A. got lucky with Matt Gay in 2020 and that took a lot of pain to get to him.
