If the Rams are going to keep their Super Bowl team together for the 2022 season, they’ll have plenty of work to do. With limited cap space and a boatload of key free agents set to hit the market, there are plenty of hurdles on their path to repeating with the same group next season.
Pro Football Focus put the Rams’ free-agent class into perspective with its ranking of the top 200 players set to hit the market. Of those 200, nine of them were members of the Rams, including two in the top 20 and four in the top 55.
Von Miller was the highest-ranked among the Rams’ free agents, coming in at No. 4. Odell Beckham Jr. was 19th, followed by Darious Williams at No. 36 and Austin Corbett at No. 53. Williams’ ranking feels a bit high after the up-and-down season he had, but his performance in 2020 was fantastic.
Elsewhere on the list, Brian Allen is PFF’s 67th-best free agent, and Sony Michel is 80th – also the fourth-best running back who will be available next month. Sebastian Joseph-Day, who missed most of the season, was ranked 85th.
Backups Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Joseph Noteboom were ranked 153rd and 162nd, respectively, with PFF seeing Okoronkwo as a rotational edge rusher and Noteboom as a potential starting left tackle.
Unsurprisingly, Davante Adams was PFF’s top-ranked free agent, followed by Terron Armstead at No. 2 and Chris Godwin at No. 3. It seems unlikely that any of those three will actually become free agents, either because their teams will sign them to extensions or hit them with the franchise tag.
