Breer: What's Next for Rams?

From his MMQB today.

RAMS

Getting Aaron Donald some help. Ndamukong Suh and Dante Fowler are free agents, and the Rams’ cap flexibility to keep guys like that is changing as the young core (Donald, Gurley, etc.) gets rewarded with second contracts. Fowler almost certainly will be off to get paid elsewhere. Suh’s case is interesting. He could stay in L.A. for less. And this is an area where you can expect the Rams to look in the draft, especially given the strength of this year’s defensive line class.

Finding a left tackle of the future (or now): Andrew Whitworth has a year left on his contract but could well retire. And if he does, that leaves a significant hole in the Rams’ rebuilt line. Is rookie Joe Noteboom the answer? Do they spend their first-round pick on one? Whitworth has been a huge part of the Rams’ renaissance, and whether they’re replacing him or finding his heir, getting a new version of him is a big priority.

Goff’s contract. The Rams are going to explore the idea of extending their QB, and could save some money and manage the cap ramifications a little easier by doing so. Team management has been aggressive in these spots in the past with players like Todd Gurley and Michael Brockers, so it would hardly be surprising to see Goff get extended by the end of the summer.
