My guess is he stays on top of the defense scheme and, if Rams appear poised, I think AD comes aboard for a 3-4 game stretch.
You know he's staying in shape for the rest of his life.

Rams are done with large FA acquisitions now. Focus is on finishing roster starters plus depth via draft. Might be 2nd or 3rd tier FA post-draft signings on anything missed.
Rams are confident about their options at Edge, DL, future starting CB, and acquiring a stud WR in draft by Day 2. All of their offseason moves make that abundantly clear.
Do not be surprised if Rams grab a QB or LOT early. I think that they’re planning for long term, too, not just for 2024 SB window. Not predicting it or advocating for it, just saying don’t be surprised if they do.
Snead may already have contingent trades in place to go either up or down on Day 1 and Day 2. I would be surprised if he didn’t. Everything is on the table, so be prepared.
Depth will be added on both sides of the ball beyond those 4 positions mentioned above. Lots and lots of depth/developmental players. Might be players that most of us have never heard of, just like in 2023.
Pundits will likely be unimpressed with some of Snead’s picks (again), but I predict that he and his scouts will pluck some gems once again out of rounds 5-7 and UDFA’s and prove once again that he knows more about this than the pundits.
A kicker will be drafted, probably late.
Rams assistant coaches will have this new rookie crop up and running before anyone expects. The importance of this can’t be overstated. It’s been a Ram secret weapon since McVay arrived.
Gonna be tough for the players to make the 53 this year, much less be a starter. Obviously, that’s a good thing and proof of a good roster.
This 2024 Ram O is gonna be a beast at both running and passing the ball. I don’t envy opposing DC’s at all.
Rams D will be surprisingly effective. Top 8 or so, statistically. But more importantly, it will be SB worthy by last third of season, if not before. An amazing thing considering AD’s retirement.
If Blackburn can fix his various ST units, I see a Ram team with no more glaring holes in 2024, and therefore a legit SB contender.
I see Rams at least splitting with 49ers and maybe even sweeping them if this new OL plays as well as I expect.
What do y’all think?
