Kyren Williams, Rams agree to three-year extension
Now, that has come to fruition.
According to multiple reports, Williams and the Rams have agreed to a a three-year extension.
The initial numbers indicate the deal is worth $33 million with $23 million guaranteed.
A fifth-round pick in 2022, Williams has been a key cog in Los Angeles' offense over the last two seasons. In 2024, he rushed for 1,299 yards with 14 touchdowns while also catching 34 passes for 182 yards with two TDs.
While Williams missed five games in 2023, he still led the league at 95.3 yards per game, making his first Pro Bowl.
He was previously entering the final season of his rookie contract.
Williams' new deal could set the stage for Bills running back James Cook to get his second contract and end his current hold-in with the defending AFC East champions.

Yankees' Aaron Boone has no plans to hide struggling Devin Williams
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free ARLINGTON, Texas — There is no running from Devin Williams' struggles, but the Yankees are not going to run from Williams, either. Aaron Boone said Wednesday morning the Yankees need to 'keep running him out there,' despite Williams coming off back-to-back days in which he blew the game — a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning Monday and a scoreless game in the eighth inning Tuesday, both of which ended in losses. It seems likely that Boone will try to find some lower-leverage landing spots for Williams his next few times out, as he did earlier this season after temporarily removing him from the closer's role. But the Yankees also do not plan on hiding him. 'It's similar to after getting off to a rough start [this season], he rallied from that and really threw up a couple months of really consistent, outstanding work,' Boone said Wednesday before David Bednar secured the five-out save in a thrilling 3-2 win at Globe Life Field. 'No reason to think he can't do that again. He has the equipment to do it, and hopefully just a little rough patch here and we'll get through that.' 3 Devin Williams wears a dejected expression during the Yankees' loss to the Rangers on Aug. 4, 2025. Jerome Miron-Imagn Images The Yankees believe that if they are going to be the team they think they can be, Williams will play a part in what could be a strong bullpen. But it has not happened of late, as Williams has given up a run in six of his past eight outings with a 9.39 ERA during that stretch. It has been reminiscent of how he started the year, when he had an 11.25 ERA through his first 10 games. In between those stretches, Williams pitched to a 2.63 ERA in 29 games, which is what gives the Yankees hope he can still be an important arm out of the bullpen. 'I think wherever he's pitching, if he's pitching like he's capable of, he's got a chance to be massively successful,' Boone said. 'Part of it is now we have, after the deadline, bringing in a number of guys that have a ton of back-end, closing-type experience. We'll try to get these guys into the best spots to be successful. 3 Devin Williams has struggled for the Yankees the past month. Robert Sabo for NY Post 'Everyone's got to pull their weight and get it done.' Round 2 of Anthony Volpe versus Jack Leiter went to the Yankees shortstop. In a matchup of the best friends and former Delbarton School teammates, Volpe got the best of Leiter again with an RBI single in his second at-bat that tied the game in the fourth inning. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Volpe and Jasson Domínguez then pulled off a double steal that led to another run on a throwing error by former Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka during Leiter's final at-bat. Volpe and Leiter had first squared off last season, when Volpe went 1-for-2, the same stat line he had Wednesday. 3 Anthony Volpe is chased and tagged out by Kyle Higashioka on a fielders choice by Austin Wells in the fourth inning of the Yankees' 3-2 road win over the Rangers on Aug. 6, 2025. AP Mark Leiter Jr., Leiter's cousin, also picked up the win for the Yankees after throwing a scoreless inning of relief. Fernando Cruz (oblique strain) threw his first full bullpen session Monday and could advance to facing hitters in a live batting practice session on Sunday. Ryan Yarbrough (oblique strain), meanwhile, is set to throw his first live session on Thursday or Friday. The Yankees plan to eventually get him to the 30-35 pitch mark in his progression before deciding whether they want to bring him back as a reliever or keep building him up to reenter the rotation.

Aaron Donald Sparks NFL Comeback Buzz After Conversation With Micah Parsons
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One overzealous Los Angeles Rams fan may be responsible for defensive tackle Aaron Donald coming out of retirement. That fan, who goes by the name @Ramblangman on Instagram and X, posted a photoshopped picture of disgruntled Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons in a Rams jersey on his Instagram account on Tuesday with the caption: "I'm not saying the Rams should trade for Micah Parsons... but I'm not not saying it either. Players like him don't hit the market every day. A phone call wouldn't hurt nobody." What was likely intended to be a discussion starter among his near-6,000 fellow Rams fans actually turned into a viral social media post that made its way back to Donald — and he just couldn't pass up the opportunity to leave a reply. "If @_micahparsons11 go to the rams I might have to call @210ths and get in football shape 😂😂 wit that Dline would be unreal 🤦🏽♂️🔥," Donald commented. Donald's reply then caught the attention of Parsons himself. "@aarondonald99 man!!! Don't tell me info like that!! @davidmulugheta," Parsons responded.

"If there ever were Football Gods!!! 🙏," one fan posted. "Donald, Parsons and (Jared) Verse and that's not even counting Byron (Young) and (Braden) Fiske and Ponna (Ford) and Kobe (Turner). That would actually by wild," another fan replied. "If this fantasy I wanna live in came true we would [expletive] have the undisputed greatest defensive line of all time," one user declared. "Pass rush would be unstoppable lmfao," a second user remarked. "@RamsNFL make it happen and I'll work for free for the team I will do whatever it takes IDC," another fan pleaded.
