Rams Secure Key Players for 2026 Season

0:00On March 3rd, the Los Angeles Rams just secured three key players ahead of free agency. They tendered kicker Harrison Mevis, wide receiver Xavier Smith, and Lyman Justin Dettich as exclusive rights free agents. This move keeps all three under contract for the 2026 season. These tenders locked them in at minimum salaries, a smart and low-cost way for the team to hold on to Talon. Now, none of them can talk deals with other clubs, giving the Rams full control. Mevis stepped up midway through last year, and handled kicking duties reliably, boosting the special team's unit. Smith added speed as a receiver and pun returner, making some explosive plays downfield. Dettich provided steady depth on the offensive line, stepping in for starts when injuries hit. Over the past two seasons, he has seen action in nearly 30 games. With these players staying put, the Rams maintained solid depth without spending big, setting them up well for training camp and beyond.
