Adams got a 91 overall score, which both Jordan Whittington and Puka Nacua said is at least nine points too low. Verse and fellow edge rusher Young debated who has the higher speed rating, too, and the answer may surprise you. Williams, meanwhile, was pleasantly surprised by his trucking score.

NFL analyst surprised by Kyren Williams contract with Rams
The Los Angeles Rams retained running back Kyren Williams on a new three-year, $33 million extension with $23 million in guaranteed money ahead of the 2025 season. The deal keeps Williams on the team for now and gives the offense a lot more stability, especially after L.A. also kept Matthew Stafford, Alaric Jackson and Tutu Atwell. Much has been said and written about running back contracts, but NBC Sports' Chris Simms was surprised by what the Rams and Williams agreed upon — because he thinks Williams deserves more. "I thought it would be more than 11 [million] a year," Simms said. "I mean, where we are in the current status right now, running backs and all that, we know Saquon's king, we get why Christian McCaffrey is right up there with him and Derrick Henry at 15 million ... I'm surprised it's not kind of up by that. I am a little surprised. I feel like it's a little low. But hey, I'm if Kyren Williams is happy, I'm happy. And good for him to get that payday and get a little security there. And hopefully, he can see another payday in a few years." Williams' new deal makes him the seventh-highest paid running back in the NFL by average annual salary, and this is after he put together consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Rams. However, Simms seems to think he should be closer to the fourth-highest paid — Jonathan Taylor — who makes $14 million a year with the Indianapolis Colts. Williams is a huge part of what makes the Rams' offense work and he'd be hard to replace on a down-by-down basis with another running back or either backup (Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter). This looks, then, more like a team-friendly deal that Williams wanted to get done more than making a statement about his value relative to the rest of the position. Now, he and the Rams can focus on football and working toward another Super Bowl — something he didn't get to experience after being drafted the year after L.A. took home the Lombardi Trophy.

Major Matthew Stafford injury development revealed as Rams QB's Week 1 status comes into focus
The injury holding Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford out has been revealed. The 37-year-old is dealing with an aggravated disc in his back and has received an epidural to help with the issue, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Rams reportedly believe that Stafford will be ready to go when Week 1 of the 2025 season rolls around in a month, with Los Angeles hosting the Texans.

Stafford has not yet practiced with his offense during training camp as he has been sidelined with his injury. Advertisement Even if Stafford is healthy enough to play at home against the Texans on Sept. 7, Stafford might not be totally in sync, especially in a new-look offense that lost Cooper Kupp and added Davante Adams. Jimmy Garoppolo is Stafford's backup. 3 Matthew Stafford playing against the Jets in 2024.

AP There was some questions regarding whether Stafford would return to the Rams as he sought a new deal, and there was a brief flirtation with the Giants, but the two sides struck a deal that will pay him $44 million this season, and another $40 million if he's on the roster next season. Stafford had a solid year in 2024, throwing for 3,762 yards with 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Where does Kyren Williams' new contract put him among NFL's highest-paid RBs?
Kyren Williams' patience and commitment to the Los Angeles Rams paid off. On Tuesday, he and the team agreed to a new contract that will pay Williams like one of the top running backs in the NFL. The deal is for three years and is worth $33 million, including $23 million guaranteed. It averages $11 million per year, more than doubling the salary Williams was set to earn this year ($5.35 million). It's a huge reward for a former fifth-round pick who went from having an injury-plagued rookie year in 2022 to becoming a key cog in Los Angeles' offense as the starting running back in just his second season. With an annual salary of $11 million, Williams now ranks seventh among all running backs in the NFL. Here's the complete top 10, according to Over The Cap. Saquon Barkley: $20.6 million Christian McCaffrey: $19 million Derrick Henry: $15 million Jonathan Taylor: $14 million Alvin Kamara: $12.25 million Josh Jacobs: $12 million Kyren Williams: $11 million Aaron Jones: $10 million Joe Mixon: $9.9 million James Conner: $9.5 million It's a very fair contract for Williams, who has been incredibly productive and efficient for the Rams the last two years. He contributes a ton on offense as both a runner and receiver, while also staying on the field in passing situations where he's asked to protect Matthew Stafford. As a do-it-all running back, he received a well-deserved payday from the team that drafted him three years ago, allowing him to stay in Los Angeles for at least a few more years.
