The Los Angeles Rams took a step back this offseason. Instead of continuing to employ an aggressive roster construction approach. But trading cornerback Jalen Ramsey was a big loss nonetheless. Their only notable NFL odds addition was tight end Hunter Long, who had just 94 snaps last season. Long figures as a depth option behind Tyler Higbee. In turn, Los Angeles was wise to be just as aggressive in tearing the roster down as it was building it up. But the team does not figure to win many football games in 2023.

Consider that the Rams have an overhauled roster. Including a nearly unrecognizable defense outside of three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. At the onset of the season, the Rams will discover how they stack up in the NFC West. Cause by back-to-back division sportsbook contests against the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers to start the season.
In a Super Bowl LVI rematch, the Rams will also be measured early against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati is seeking a third-consecutive AFC Conference championship appearance. And they must face the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles — all by Week 5. The bye falls on Week 10 of the 2023 season.
2023 Los Angeles Rams Offseason Moves
The Rams have embraced a full-on youth movement, with a 14-player draft class and a 26-player undrafted free agent group. To illuminate, rookies make up nearly half the roster. So the Rams will look to find as much cheap, young talent as possible. LA will be pushing its chips back in for 2024 and beyond. The best long-term outcome is likely losing enough games to draft a quarterback early in the 2024 NFL Draft. But head coach Sean McVay may be too good to lose that often. Despite a lack of NFL betting odds talent to work with.
