Rams have most optimistic fanbase heading into 2025, per survey
Rams have most optimistic fanbase heading into 2025, per survey
Los Angeles Rams fans are some of the most enthusiastic fans in the NFL right now. They have Matthew Stafford back, Davante Adams on the roster and one of the most exciting young defenses in the league.
This excitement was incredibly prevalent in a survey from The Action Network. Following the 2025 NFL Draft, they asked NFL fans: "How optimistic are you about your NFL team's performance next season based on the moves made this offseason?'
Rams fans finished with highest optimism score in the league, with 90% answering that they were "very" optimistic, according to the survey. The Action Network added that this is the highest optimism score they've ever recorded. Meanwhile, just 6% of Rams fans said they were "not at all" optimistic and 4% said "neither."
The next-highest fanbases were the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions.
Rams fans do have a lot to be excited about following a wild 2024 season and an even wilder 2025 offseason. L.A. took the Eagles all the way to end in the NFC Divisional Round and lost by just six points despite a bevy of injuries throughout the year. Stafford's return is the biggest boost, though, considering the possibility he could have been traded in the beginning of the offseason.
While the 2025 NFL Draft didn't have a ton of fireworks, the Rams added some good depth pieces and picked up a 2026 first-round pick from the Atlanta Falcons. Losing Cooper Kupp was tough for the loyal fans, but the addition of Davante Adams should quell and concerns about the pass-catching corps.

NFL insider on Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson's shoulder injury
NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero provided an update on Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, who is going to miss minicamp this coming week with a shoulder injury. As Shane Steichen described prior to Thursday's final OTA practice, Richardson experienced shoulder pain the week prior. Upon further evaluation, the testing revealed that the pain was related to the same AC joint that Richardson injured during his rookie season. Advertisement Steichen did not put a timeline on Richardson's return, other than saying they hope to have him back at some point during training camp. But among NFL insiders, the belief seems to be that Richardson will be ready for training camp. On a recent appearance on the 'Rich Eisen Show,' Pelissero provided additional insight regarding Richardson. "They just made the decision, 'hey, we're going to back off him right now,' Pelissero said. "Shane Steichen saying he'll be back sometime in training camp is not really what I want to hear if I'm somebody rooting for Anthony Richardson to beat out Daniel Jones for that job. "Now I was separately told yesterday that he'll 1,000 percent be ready for training camp, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Colts will let him loose. You're going to want to ramp him up after he misses the end of OTAs and minicamp. You're not just going to go out and have him throw 600 balls on the first day of practice. So these are reps that now go to Daniel Jones, and he gets more of an opportunity." Advertisement Pelissero continued: "I know that the coaches in Indianapolis were really excited at the prospect of bringing in Daniel Jones, even though they've got this remarkable ball of clay in Anthony Richardson. It's a ball of clay that's spent so much time in the training room over the past couple of years that it's cost him those reps that he sorely needed as a young player who had only started 13 college games and really hadn't played a ton." In addition to Pelissero's reporting that Richardson will be ready to go for the start of training camp, which for the Colts begins on July 22nd, it's important to note that there may be an easing back in process for him. So even though he's on the practice field on Day 1, it may not mean he's leading the first team offense and alternating reps with Jones. Steichen alluded to that during Thursday's press conference, saying that the team will "ease him back into throwing" once he returns. Once a full-go, Richardson will have the opportunity to compete with Jones for the starting job, but winning it does become more difficult with the time he's missed during OTAs, minicamp, along with potentially being limited early on in training camp, if that is how things play out. With fewer reps overall, Richardson will have to make up for lost time. This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: NFL insider on Colts QB Anthony Richardson's shoulder injury

Dak Prescott makes clear what his Cowboys priority is: ‘Be damned if it's just for my legacy'
Dak Prescott wants a championship ring, no matter the cost. Prescott told reporters on Thursday that it is his primary goal, regardless of the legacy he leaves in the NFL. 'Yeah, I want to win a championship,' Prescott said. 'The legacy, the things, whatever comes after I finish playing will take care of itself. I want to win a championship. Be damned if it's just for my legacy, or if it's for this team, for my personal being, for my sanity. Yeah, the legacy will take care of itself. I have to stay where my feet are.' Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season with the Cowboys. AP Prescott is getting ready for his 10th NFL season, and only Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman has had a longer tenure in Dallas while starting under center. While Prescott, 31, has led the Cowboys to five playoff appearances, those trips have always ended before the team reached the NFC championship. Prescott has recently faced some tough injury luck, missing games in four of the last five seasons due to different setbacks. Last season, he missed nine games due to surgery on his hamstring. Now, as the 2025 season is approaching, Prescott seems to be feeling good about things in Dallas, with whom he signed a four-year, $240 million extension before last season, which has already been restructured. 'These OTAs, just the way that I've been seeing minicamp, the communication with [coach Brian Schottenheimer], with the quarterbacks or the quarterback room, just a lot of good things,' Prescott said. 'A lot of really good things that have me in a great place. I'm healthy. Excited as hell.' First-year head coach for the Dallas Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer AP With a new head coach in Schottenheimer, maybe they can complete Prescott's goal and bring a Lombardi Trophy back to the Lone Star State.
