The Los Angeles Rams announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms with free-agent inside linebacker Nate Landman on an undisclosed one-year deal. Landman will move to the NFC West after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, where he recorded 192 tackles (105 solo), two sacks, seven tackles for loss, five QB hits, one interception and six forced fumbles in 36 games (23 starts). The 26-year-old alumni of the University of Colorado had 110 total tackles in 2023 and produced 81 tackles (39 solo) in 13 games (nine starts) in his final season in Atlanta in 2024. He missed four games on Injured Reserve last year with a calf injury. Landman has shown that he can be a strong inside linebacker in the NFL, but he'll probably be competing for playing time in L.A.
Nate Landman Won't Receive Tender Offer From Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons will not tender an offer to restricted free-agent linebacker Nate Landman, who has 191 tackles in 23 starts over the last two years, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. While the 26-year-old could return to Atlanta on a lesser deal, he will now become an unrestricted free agent next week. The former undrafted free agent out of the University of Colorado should have a decent market in free agency after posting 81 tackles (39 solo) and three forced fumbles in only 13 games (nine starts) in his third year in the league. 2023 was his best year, though, when he finished with a career-high 110 tackles (66 solo), two sacks, seven tackles for loss, his only career interception and three forced fumbles in 16 games (14 starts). Wherever Landman lands for the 2025 season, he'll provide valuable linebacker depth.
Atlanta Falcons undrafted rookie linebacker Nate Landman was active in 7-on-7 drills in the only heavy action during organized team activities and seemed to have a knack for finding the ball. Landman is still probably fighting an uphill battle to make the final roster as an inside linebacker out of training camp, but he might have jump-started himself into being in the conversation if he builds on his spring performance during training camp this summer. The 23-year-old from Colorado finished his collegiate career with 244 solo tackles (42 for loss), 10 sacks, three interceptions, 11 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his five seasons.
