Rams Eye Ty Simpson for QB Future

0:00It's March 30, I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today football news powered by AI. The Los Angeles Rams roll into the offseason with one of the league's strongest rosters, primed as a Super Bowl contender for 2026. Matthew Stafford, fresh off his first MVP award, and third pro Bowl nod at age 38, anchors the offense at an elite level. But the glaring gap is at back-up quarterback, where rookie Stetson Bennett IV sits with zero regular season snaps. Garoppolo's gone unsigned after backing up last year, leaving the Rams thin behind Stafford. With the veteran turning 38, they need a long-term heir apparent, not just a short-term patch. Instead of plugging other minor holes on a stacked depth chart, premium draft capital makes sense for the QB spot. Bleacher reports Mo Motton spotlighted the Rams as a prime landing spot for Alabama's tie Simpson, pegging him for their potential number 13. Overall pick, experts see it as smart to groom a successor over adding a rotational piece

1:02elsewhere. Simpson balled out in 2025, starting 15 games with 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only five picks. He led the SEC and passes their own end completed, slinging it fearlessly with a can and arm like Stafford, mobile enough but built for the pocket. That blueprint fits Sean McVeigh's scheme perfectly, letting Simpson soak up wisdom from the MVP champ. As the draft nears, expect the Rams to eye this move and solidify their future under center.
