The Los Angeles Rams are favored to win the Super Bowl this season after making a number of impressive offseason moves.
First, star quarterback Matthew Stafford decided to return for another season after winning the league's MVP award. Not long later, the Rams landed star corner Trent McDuffie in a trade with AFC powerhouse Kansas City in a move that solidified a weak spot for Los Angeles.

ESPN ranked the trade for Garrett as the most impactful move so far this offseason.
"The Rams went all-in this offseason to upgrade the defensive side of the ball for coordinator Chris Shula, and the move to land Garrett tops our list. He was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last season while setting the single-season sack record (23)," ESPN wrote.
"As the league's ultimate closer, Garrett has elite physical tools to set edges and hit the quarterback. He'll continue to be a game wrecker for the Rams, which will also boost the overall play of Shula's secondary."
Los Angeles opens the 2026 season against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia on Sept. 10.
