Rams headlines continue to dominate the NFL offseason... In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by Fanduel, Erin Coscarelli and Super Bowl Champion Rob Havenstein talk NFL finances... Los Angeles is projected to field a $201 million offense in 2026, which would make it the most expensive offense in NFL history - led by Matthew Stafford's massive cap hit and a roster full of stars who have earned their payday. But with several key extensions looming, including Puka Nacua's future deal, is this level of spending sustainable? At the same time, the Rams face a major question at one of football's most important positions. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson recent arrest on suspicion of domestic violence could mean...and while the legal process must play out before any conclusions are drawn, the situation raises the possibility of league discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policy. If Jackson were unavailable, how would the Rams navigate life without Matthew Stafford's blindside protector? We break down: Why the Rams' offense is on track to become the most expensive in NFL history What the Rams' options are if Jackson misses time Whether L.A. should have invested more heavily in offensive tackle during the draft The realistic path for rookie Keagan Trost Could veteran Taylor Decker be an answer? Which of the Rams' four offensive linemen entering contract years should be prioritized? Plus, what these decisions mean for the Rams' Super Bowl window and whether spending big today could create difficult choices tomorrow. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by FanDuel, Erin Coscarelli is joined by former NFL quarterback and co-host of The Simms Complete Show, Matt Simms to dissect the ageless wonder of Matthew Stafford. Winning his first MVP at 37, the big question surfaces...is a drop-off coming? Simms makes the case for why Stafford is an “ageless thrower,” what separates his arm talent from everyone else, and why this trait makes him one of one. We get into how his throwing mechanics, anticipation, and mental processing project into the future and what it says about his longevity. And the hard conversation Rams must think about... When do you look to the future if you have a quarterback like Stafford? When is the right time to plan ahead without disrupting a championship window? We start with Puka Nacua. Are the early bumps just natural growth pains for a young star? Simms explains why it's not cause for concern yet and what development actually looks like from a quarterback's perspective. Sean McVay as an educator and how that impacts his coaching tree - how hard is it to constantly replace new coordinators? Simms shares his honest opinion of McVay the human, not just McVay the 'play caller.'
