The Los Angeles Rams’ season is over after the divisional round.

Matthew Stafford and the Rams battled hard but lost 28-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday.

The Rams won the NFC West title and beat the Minnesota Vikings to advance to the divisional round but were ultimately outclassed by the Eagles in Philly.

What’s next for the Rams as they head into the offseason? USA TODAY Sports explores what’s next for the Rams in 2025:

Rams key free agents

Jackson allowed three sacks and 22 pressures in 893 snaps at left tackle, per Pro Football Focus. The Rams offensive line immediately improved when he returned to the lineup in Week 3.

Robinson enjoyed arguably the best year of his career in 2024. The ninth-year wideout had career-highs in receiving yards (505) touchdown catches (7). He was Los Angeles’ No. 2 receiving option when Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp weren’t in action.

Bobby Brown III

Brown was a key cog in the Rams’ upstart defensive line. The interior defensive lineman started 16 of 17 games and registered a career-high 44 tackles and four tackles for loss.

Rams offseason preview: 3 moves to make

Offensive line

The Rams offensive line improved as the season progressed. Jackson and Joseph Noteboom are scheduled to hit free agency. Los Angeles ranked 20th in pass block win rate.

Tackle prospects such as LSU’s Will Campbell, Texas’ Kelvin Banks, Georgia’s Earnest Greene or Oregon’s Josh Conerly could be intriguing for the Rams.

Wide receiver depth

Nacua and Kupp both battled injuries this season. Kupp’s missed at least five games for three-straight seasons. Robinson is a pending free agent. The Rams need more depth at the position.

Kupp is 31 years old. Perhaps the Rams find a wide receiver steal in the draft like they did with Nacua. However, the 2025 draft isn’t considered deep at wideout.

Darius Slayton is a pending free agent and is likely going to get interest from multiple teams.

Interior linebacker

The Rams were weak against the run, ranking 22 in the league. A big reason why is because interior linebacker was a position of weakness. Christian Rozeboom, the team’s leading tackler, is a free agent.

Alabama linebackers Jihaad Campbell and Deonte Lawson are projected to both be selected within the top three rounds. A rookie linebacker would fit the Rams’ young emerging defense with OLB Jared Verse and DL Braden Fiske.
