Rams expanding markets, beginning with minicamp in Hawaii
Rams President Kevin Demoff says that the team's three-day visit to Hawaii in June is the start of the team expanding its global reach along the Pacific Rim. (Kyusung Gong / Associated Press) Rams coach Sean McVay typically rewards players for their dedicated voluntary offseason work by not holding a mandatory minicamp. This year, players are apt to welcome one. The Rams and the Hawaii Tourism Authority announced on Wednesday that the Rams will hold a minicamp and other events in Maui from June 16-18. Advertisement Rams President Kevin Demoff and Hawaii Gov. Josh Green made the announcement at the Rams' facility in Woodland Hills. The Rams will conduct football activity workouts at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku, including one open to the public on June 18, and will also participate in girls' flag football and tackle football clinics as well as community events. Rams staff and some players will also work with Habitat for Humanity to assist in the rebuilding of four homes in Lahaina that were affected by the devastating wildfire in 2023. Green noted the Rams' contribution to aid relief efforts in Maui immediately after the fire.

Demoff said the Rams and the HTA began working on the one-year agreement last fall, before the Palisades and Eaton fires ravaged Southern California. 'At that time we didn't know how tied together we would be,' Demoff said, adding, 'but I think that strengthened the bond.' The Rams last visited Hawaii in 2019. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the Rams played while SoFi Stadium was being built, was under renovation so the Rams played the Dallas Cowboys in a preseason game at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. They are returning six years later with a roster that includes star receiver Puka Nacua, who is of Hawaiian and Samoan descent. Advertisement The Rams view the trip as an opportunity to further expand their brand. The NFL awarded the Rams marketing rights to Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates. The Rams will be the home team for a 2026 regular-season game in Melbourne, Australia. The opponent for the game has not been announced. The trip to Maui makes sense from a marketing perspective, Demoff said. 'Hawaii fits right into that very well as we try to grow in the Pacific Rim,' Demoff said, 'and so it checks every box and it brings our players a little bit of fun too.'

Rams have 'a lot of pride' seeing coaches, execs leave for promotions
Rams have 'a lot of pride' seeing coaches, execs leave for promotions The Los Angeles Rams have seen a lot of coaching and front office turnover in the Sean McVay-Les Snead era. This is a good, though, as it establishes a culture of excellence that other teams want to emulate. As recently this offseason, former Rams lost director of scouting James Gladstone left to become the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars and former Rams tight ends coach and passing game coordinator took the offensive coordinator position with the Houston Texans. Others, like Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell and Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, are also ex-Rams employees. Team president Kevin Demoff told the franchise's website that he takes "a lot of pride" in seeing a lot of former colleagues at league-wide events, like this spring's annual owner's meeting in Florida. "We certainly have become a place that the league has looked to for talent, and that talent has had success," Demoff said. "And it's great to see James [Gladstone] and the front office get recognized for what they've done, because for all of our success and what Les has done, the only person who had been picked is Brad Holmes. You look at the job he's done in Detroit, as executive of the year, too, like you would think that more people would come looking for that. And I am glad that James got a chance." It's bittersweet to see talent people go elsewhere, but Demoff's thought process makes sense in that it ultimately makes the Rams a much more attractive place to take a job when you know others have gone on to have tremendous opportunities elsewhere. The Rams had a ton of action on The Athletic's list of up-and-coming coaches and executives under the age of 40, so the talent pool remains full.

Rams president Kevin Demoff roasts 49ers podcaster who tried to troll LA for HQ plans
Rams president Kevin Demoff roasts 49ers podcaster who tried to troll LA for HQ plans Imagine the insecurity you must have to jump into a post about another team's practice facility plans… — Kevin Demoff (@kdemoff) April 6, 2025 The Los Angeles Rams made a big announcement on Sunday, unveiling their plans for a state-of-the-art facility in Woodland Hills. It's a massive $10 billion project that's being set in motion by owner Stan Kroenke, which will not only be home to the Rams' headquarters, but also residential, retail and entertainment space across 100 acres. It was an exciting reveal for the team, but a 49ers podcaster decided to infiltrate L.A.'s announcement with a joke that's been made too many times. When team president Kevin Demoff shared renderings of the project, a 49ers fan responded with a photo of red jerseys at SoFi Stadium and said '75% of the building should be filled by other NFL teams just like SOFI.' Demoff didn't let Chapman rain on the Rams' parade, replying to his post with a GIF of Aaron Donald celebrating after LA's win over the 49ers in the NFC title game three years ago and the following message. Based on the replies to Demoff's tweet, Rams fans sure did appreciate the team president burying the 49ers podcaster. Well done, Mr. Demoff.
