Coming into the 2023 NFL season, not many expected the Los Angeles Rams defense to be very good. In fact, there was more reason that not to believe that they wouldn’t be very good. During the offseason, general manager Les Snead opted to trade Jalen Ramsey while cutting Leonard Floyd and Bobby Wagner. All three of these players were key contributors on the defense in 2022.
However, it wasn’t just that the Rams got rid of those three players, they also didn’t bring in anyone to necessarily replace them. Yes, they signed Ahkello Witherspoon at cornerback, but he signed just a one-year, $1.
