Jourdan can (and does) offer her opinion on many aspects of the Rams. That comes across in her podcasts as well as her articles.

What she can't report on is things like who the starting O is, what formations the team is using, etc. Basically anything that an opponent could use to game plan.

She also does get the occasional scoop. For example, have you seen this anywhere else (from her May 10 article in The Atlantic, "Rams’ Aaron Donald did ‘not really’ consider retiring amid offseason speculation on future"?

General manager Les Snead said earlier this month that when he and coach Sean McVay were outlining their offseason plans — including bringing in over 40 rookies to fill out the roster — Donald told them, “just make sure (the rookies) care.”

“You kind of got an idea of what was going on as far as certain moves they were going to have to make,” Donald said. “It was more (about), if you’re bringing young guys in — as long as they’ve got the mindset to work, and they’ve got the right mindset to just go out there and do what they need to do at a high level, and willing to put that work in, I can work with that.”

that it is not just her who is contractually obligated not not report certain things. She can write what she wants, anything she wants
anytime she wants, but if she crosses the line of the small things no reporter can report she loses her on-field credential.

It is the practice on-field credential that has contractual obligations---don't say who is the starting left tackle or who is taking reps with the first team
in OTAs or camp. Or during the season, don't reveal anything that will give away a certain package or play.

This is the same for all teams. Report in vague terms what you see, just don't cross a line.

It's pretty simple to understand
