Could Rams Pursue Superstar Defender In Free Agency?

The Los Angeles Rams are certainly more worried about their current state than they are about the offseason, but it’s never too early to start window shopping.

Rams are very good in some areas. They have one of the best wide receiver tandems in football, and their stable of young pass rushers is nearly unmatched.

But Los Angeles has one major weakness that needs to be addressed: its secondary, and more specifically, its safety.

The Rams currently employ Kamren Curl and Quentin Lake at the position, and while Curl has proven to be a solid signing and Lake is decent, Los Angeles could use an upgrade.

As an example, Curl owns a 59.3 Pro Football Focus grade, and Lake is at 61.5.

Meh.

So why not pursue Miami Dolphins star Jevon Holland in free agency?

Sports Illustrated recently ranked Holland as the third best upcoming free agent on its top 50 listand you can understand why.

Holland has been an absolute stud in 2024, and the Rams found that out the hard way when he wreaked havoc in the Dolphins’ Week 10 win over Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old has been brilliant in coverage ever since he entered the NFL in 2021, and he’s developed into one of the best all-around safeties in the sport.

The Rams are supposed to have significant headroom in 2025, so they should have more than enough in the coffers to sign Holland while also addressing other needs.

Some feel Los Angeles may want to pursue Justin Simmons, but the club would be better off going after the younger player with much more upside.

The Rams defense is a work in progress. It has looked fantastic sometimes in 2024, but then there have been times where it has been terrible. The fact that Los Angeles ranks 23rd in yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense reflects that.

Again, the Rams definitely have some pieces on that side of the ball. Kobie Turner and Byron Young are outstanding, and rookie Jared Verse looks to be on his way to stardom.

But Los Angeles could use some help in its defensive backfield, and Holland could be the answer the team is looking for.
