Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams tendered running back and exclusive-rights free-agent Ronnie Rivers on Friday. The 25-year-old had 32 carries for 129 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards in a reserve role for the Rams in 2023 in his second NFL season. In his first two years in the league, he has 41 carries for 150 yards and 10 catches for 51 yards. Rivers will now be unable to negotiate with other teams this offseason, meaning he will return to LA in 2024 as running back depth behind Kyren Williams and Zach Evans, among others. The 5-foot-9, 195-pounder won't be on the fantasy radar in traditional 12-team leagues unless Williams misses time due to injury next season.

The Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million on Friday, according to Robinson's agency. Robinson will stay in Los Angeles after a productive 2023 season in which he caught 26 of his 39 targets for 371 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (four starts) in his first year with the team. The 29-year-old wideout added three catches on six targets for 44 yards in the playoff loss to the Detroit Lions. It was solid production, considering he was mostly the team's No. 4 pass-catcher behind Cooper Kupp, rookie Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell for most of the year. Robinson found the end zone four straight times in December to finish strong, but he'll have to battle for the No. 3 role behind Kupp and Nacua this summer.

The Los Angeles Rams still sound undecided on quarterback Stetson Bennett's future with the team, with head coach Sean McVay saying the team will "connect with" Bennett "at the appropriate time." "And you figure out, 'All right, where are you at? And is this something we feel like is best for him and our football team to bring him back into this ecosystem." Bennett was placed on the Non-Football Injury list in mid-September of his rookie season due to an undisclosed illness after taking him in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft. In his three preseason games, the two-time collegiate national champion threw for 347 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Hopefully, we'll get more clarification on the Rams' plans for Bennett and why he missed his entire rookie season.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is being suspended for two games for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy, according to league sources. The policy violation is related to him using a prescribed medication without having a valid therapeutic use exemption, according to sources. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that Garoppolo is headed for his release after the news. Even if the 32-year-old wasn't suspended, he likely would have been released this offseason anyway after being benched for rookie Aidan O'Connell in 2023. The Raiders will avoid having to pay him an $11.25 million roster bonus if they cut him before March 17. Jimmy G threw for 1,205 yards, seven TDs and nine interceptions in seven games (six starts) in his first and last year in Vegas.

When asked if he expected Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett (illness) to be back with the team in 2024, head coach Sean McVay said, "You know, I don't know that. I think that's a conversation for another time. I think he's doing better but I wouldn't be in a position to answer that accurately right now." Bennett, who was taken in the fourth round of last year's draft after winning back-to-back National Championships with Georgia, wasn't active for a single game in his rookie season. He spent the whole year on the Non-Football Illness list for undisclosed reasons, causing the Rams to cycle between backup QBs behind starter Matthew Stafford. McVay said Bennett is doing better, but there's a chance he could miss all of next year, too.
