AJ is facing misdeamor accounts of "he-said, she-said" stuff. Arnold is being held without bond for multiple counts of armed robbery and kidnapping after many weeks of investigation. This is going to turn into another wasted 1st round draft pick.

Arnold had no known police troubles in college and was regarded as a "high character" guy. So, how the Lions could ever have imagined this could devolve into this mess.....

There needs to be Union and contract rules about this stuff that a team can recover money and cap when a guy gets arrested and jailed and then convicted for serious criminal offenses. There is simply no way to know for sure whether you have an upright citizen or a guy with serious behaviorial potential problems when you draft them, especially if has never shown up before.

This brings us to the Sorsby issure. I cannot imagine an NFL team that would want to hire a notorious gambler who bets on his own team and control a game, as their QB. I don't care if the guy swore on a stack of Bibles that those days were behind him. That is an enormous, known character flaw of untrustworthiness. I think the NFL did the right thing by canceling this year's supplemental draft so that the kid doesn't get rewarded for being shady. And some dumb-a$$ NFL team like the Cowboys or Raiders or Browns picking up yet another known bad-boy.]]> RockRam RamsFootballFans.comThu, 25 Jun 2026 13:35:36 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244558,1244558#msg-1244558 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244558,1244558#msg-1244558

So Sorsby wont be in a supplementary draft. Now that makes him basically unemployed. Now, in most European sports that means he COULD just be signed by anyone really at any time, but how does it work in the NFL?
Is it the same but teams just rarely do? Or is he simply *** out of luck until next years draft? Could he even declare for that?
How do these things work because Supplementary draft or not I could see how he would be worth taking a flyer on by F.I. Raiders or Jets or Viking etc but is that even possible?

What does this say about Bennett?

Shouldn't he clearly be ahead of Simpson? He's been in this system for years and has 4 times or more college experience than Simpson.

Maybe this is a good sign for Simpson? Maybe it's just some positive "hype" without saying anything bad about either QB? lol

The Athletic’s Nate Atkins says neither Ty Simpson or Stetson Bennett have been able to “stand out ahead of the other” in the Rams quarterback room.

With Matthew Stafford likely to have another limited training camp as he manages a back issue for the second straight year, rookie No. 13 pick Ty Simpson and former fourth-round pick Stetson Bennett are battling for the backup role. Though the team wants Jimmy Garoppolo back, the vet is mulling retirement, leading to one of these two unproven arms to be thrust into the backup quarterback role. Atkins reports Bennett took reps first in Stafford’s two missed practices in minicamp but neither Bennett nor Simpson “were able to stand out ahead of the other.” The Rams consider the backup role a significant void “with Stafford’s need to take time off and with the risk from each time Stafford takes a hit”, according to Atkins. A season in which Stafford misses time due to injury already decreases the Rams’ contention odds and an unprepared Simpson or Bennett as QB2 would be costly. Both will have time for developmental reps in camp and Simpson is worth rostering in Dynasty fantasy football formats.]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comWed, 24 Jun 2026 13:48:37 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244472,1244472#msg-1244472 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244472,1244472#msg-1244472

NFL keeps Brendan Sorsby out of supplemental draft
link

The NFL is sticking it to Brendan Sorsby.

PFT has confirmed that the NFL has decided not to conduct a supplemental draft in July 2026. This means that Sorsby will not enter the NFL until the April 2027 draft.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL believed there was insufficient time to fully investigate his gambling activities.

That’s a cop-out, in our view. They could have (and perhaps should have) begun exploring the matter from the moment it became clear — in late April — that Sorsby may end up applying for the supplemental draft. Also, the league didn’t have to investigate Sorsby’s gambling to determine whether he is or isn’t eligible to be drafted.

There’s no rule regarding eligibility for the draft that relates to gambling prior to entering the NFL.

The next question becomes whether Sorsby will fight the NFL’s decision in court. Because Sorsby has not yet been drafted, he’s not part of the union. Lawyer Jeffrey Kessler, who won a temporary injunction restoring Sorsby’s NCAA eligibility 15 days ago, could file a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary injunction.

The NFL currently has two players who engaged in similar gambling behavior to Sorsby while in college. Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte bet on LSU games in which he played for LSU (Sorsby didn’t play in any of the Indiana games on which he wagered); Boutte was never punished in any way by the league. Saints quarterback Hunter Dekkers permanently lost his NCAA eligibility for gambling on Iowa State while he was on the Iowa State roster. His entry into the NFL was not delayed.

But, as mentioned recently, the NFL has a reputation for making the rules up as it goes. Someone believed Sorsby deserved to miss a year of football — and that someone decided the best way to do that would be to keep him out of the 2026 draft.]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comTue, 23 Jun 2026 15:38:21 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244450,1244450#msg-1244450 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244450,1244450#msg-1244450 Shecky RamsFootballFans.comTue, 23 Jun 2026 13:51:58 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244448,1244448#msg-1244448 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1244448,1244448#msg-1244448

Tight end Terrance Ferguson had a difficult rookie season for the Los Angeles Rams. The 46th overall pick entered the year with high expectations as the frontrunner in LA's 2025 draft class. It was disappointing, then, when he did not earn any consistent role, finishing the season with just 11 catches.

Those within the Rams' organization aren't concerned about Ferguson's potential or growth. They believe he is already on the cusp of a sophomore leap, per intel from ESPN's Sarah Barshop, who covered the Rams portion of a pre-training-camp assessment of each team's "biggest surprise" thus far.

"everal people in the Rams' building have pointed to Ferguson as a player they think will take a big step forward in Year 2," wrote Barshop. "Tight end Tyler Higbee said while the position is 'one of the tougher' spots to transition from college to the NFL, Ferguson has 'got it.' 'He's going to be a great player,' Higbee said."

Coming from Higbee, the tight-end room's senior representative, that means a lot. Ferguson has plenty to prove, and it sounds like he is on track to do just that.

Year 2 Ferguson is ready to come into his own

Ferguson is suited to a clear, if uncanny role in the Rams' offense; he just has to earn an expanded opportunity. That role is serving as a de facto WR3, stretching the field as a deep threat from the slot or out wide. He did that last year in limited reps, averaging 21 yards per catch with an average depth of target of 18.6 yards.

For Ferguson, though, taking the next step also means being more than just a deep ball specialist. He can factor more into the short and mid-range game and shore up as a blocker. Higbee and Parkinson will still be go-to veterans in short-area, run-heavy, and goal-line scenarios, but simply getting his foot in the door will make Ferguson an exponentially more valuable weapon.

Not only will he be able to contribute in a variety of sets and schemes, it will also be harder for defenses to anticipate his assignment on a given play. It won't be as simple as, 'Oh, hey, there's Ferguson, be ready for a deep post route.'

The good news is that, in the eyes of Higbee and others in team circles, Ferguson demonstrated significant progress in OTAs.

Granting Ferguson a bigger role if he earns it also falls on head coach Sean McVay, who has historically been reluctant to utilize young pass-catchers consistently. With a year of experience under his belt, Ferguson should make that less of an issue, anyway. Now that McVay has mastered 13-personnel, too, he may have an even clearer vision of how to maximize his individual tight ends according to their specific skill sets.

Don't take just anyone's word for it, take Higbee's. Ferguson has the 'it' factor, and Rams fans may see it on display sooner rather than later.
