Former Buffalo Bills All-Pro and Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White (Achilles) has visits scheduled with the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders this week, with a few other teams showing interest in him as well, according to sources. White was cut by the Bills earlier this month and is also working his way back from a torn right Achilles suffered last October. The 29-year-old former 27th overall pick by Buffalo in 2017 out of LSU will surely latch on with another team this offseason, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be moving forward after his devastating Achilles injury in 2023. It's unlikely that White is going to return to being one of the best cover cornerbacks in the league as he approaches 30 years old, but if he's past his Achilles injury, he can still provide veteran leadership to a team in need of secondary help.
The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to sources. Following his disastrous year with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023, Jimmy G is now set to join the Rams for one season as Matthew Stafford's backup. Garoppolo must first serve a two-games suspension to start the year for performance-enhancing drugs, but then he will be holding a clipboard on the sidelines with the Rams. The 32-year-old signal-caller played in seven games with the Raiders last year before getting hurt and eventually benched for rookie Aidan O'Connell, going 110-for-169 for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. Pretty much all of the fantasy value that Jimmy G had going into last season is now gone.
Los Angeles Rams legendary pass-rusher Aaron Donald announced his retirement from professional football on Friday. Donald retires as one of the best players at his position all time. The 32-year-old was the Rams' 13th overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Pittsburgh, and he had a phenomenal career in his 10 NFL seasons, which all came with the Rams. Donald was named the Defensive Player of the Year four different times, including in his rookie season in 2014 and he was also named to the Pro Bowl in every season of his career while earning eight first-team All-Pro selections. He won the Super Bowl with LA in 2021 and was reportedly considering retirement after that. Donald will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer after racking up 111 career sacks, 543 tackles (340 solo), 176 tackles for loss, 260 QB hits, 21 passes defended 24 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in 154 regular season-games.
The Los Angeles Rams placed a second-round tender, which is worth $4.89 million, on restricted free-agent left tackle Alaric Jackson on Tuesday. Jackson is still free to negotiate with any teams. If the Rams do not match a contract offer from another team for Jackson, they would be entitled to a second-round pick from his new team. It essentially means that the 6-foot-7, 285-pounder will stay in LA in 2024. The 25-year-old started 15 games at left tackle and helped the Rams offensive line allow the seventh-lowest sack rate (5.5%) in 2023. Jackson only allowed one sack all season, which was the best among tackles who played 500-plus offensive snaps. The Rams will most likely retain Jackson and also added guards Kevin Dotson and Jonah Jackson in free agency as they prioritize stabilizing their O-line heading into next season.
Free-agent cornerback Darious Williams is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, as reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Originally undrafted in 2018, Williams began his career with the Baltimore Ravens before being released and claimed off waivers by the Rams. He spent three seasons in L.A., where he logged 130 tackles and six interceptions. He joined the Jaguars in 2022 and played in all 34 of their regular season games since, posting 106 tackles, four interceptions, and 35 passes defended. He's now back with Sean McVay under new defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
