For years, Ram fans agonized as free agents preferred other destinations for a chance to win a championship. The team had to either overpay (Jake Long) or settle for cheaper talent (William Hayes) to improve the roster. Meanwhile, teams like the Patriots got below market numbers for veteran free agents on short term deals that fit their system.

All that has changed and truly creates a unique opportunity for the team this offseason. The main factors that make the Rams THE MOST DESIRED FA DESTINATION IN THE NFL are as follows:
1. Having been to the Super Bowl, players wanting a ring will sacrifice dollars for opportunity.
2. Their handling of aging vets like Sully and Whitworth is exactly what players crave as they try to extend their careers. SoCal weather doesn’t hurt either.
3. The Rams have proven willing to show loyalty to players who earn their keep (Donald, Gurley).
4. Starters don’t have to play pre-season games.
5. Ram players honestly vouch for the coaches and organization as a whole. What offensive player wouldn’t want to find success under McVay? What defensive player wouldn’t be eager to play for Wade the legend? And Bones....hello?
6. With so many free agents and so much cap space, the Rams can decide to keep or drop anyone they want. The money is there for the Rams to choose from the top of the pool.

Les Snead has a history of thinking outside the box and fearlessly making moves nobody could anticipate (Goff, Peters, Cooks, Fowler). While many focus on what the Rams currently have on the roster, don’t expect Snead to waste the unprecedented flexibility he now enjoys. This offseason will be even more remarkable than last year.
