Last offseason, the Los Angeles Rams signed tight end Colby Parkinson to a three-year, $22.5 million contract, which definitely raised some eyebrows. After all, Parkinson was coming off of a 2023 campaign with the Seattle Seahawks in which he logged just 25 catches for 247 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

The four snaps that Parkinson played in the divisional round was the least of any of the Rams' tight ends, and the first year of his three year, $22.5 million dollar contract with the Rams has turned out to be mostly a bust.

Whether or not you expected the Los Angeles Rams to make the playoffs in 2024 is one thing. The fact that they made an improbable comeback after starting 1-4 is another. A turnaround on that scale doesn’t happen without a handful of individual players excelling beyond reasonable expectations and growing their role on the team.

The Los Angeles Rams have quickly become a dark horse Super Bowl candidate this season. But to keep their season alive against the Philadelphia Eagles, they’re going to need to be the healthier team — even if it requires tight end Tyler Higbee gutting it out.

There’s plenty for the Los Angeles Rams to build off from the success of their 2024 season. The offseason to-do list will be long as always, but they’ll also need to be honest about which players gave lackluster contributions and performed below expectations.

Although the Los Angeles Rams have good depth at tight end, they’re lacking a dynamic receiving threat at the position. Fortunately, this is a great year to need a tight end because the draft class is full of playmakers.

Here’s a look at where the Rams’ offense stands entering the offseason. QB Matthew Stafford, RB Kyren Williams, WR Cooper Kupp, WR Puka Nacua, TE Tyler Higbee, RT Rob Havenstein, RG Kevin Dotson, C Beaux Limmer and LG Steve Avila are signed for the 2025 season.

The Rams have to get younger and better at this position in 2025 because it’s hard to expect any of those three cornerbacks to play as well as they did at the end of the season. This should be a high-priority spot for Los Angeles in the offseason.

Prior to the Glenn hire being made official, a list of candidates to watch emerged on both sides of the ball. Concerning the OC position, Nick Caley was among them, and to no surprise, that is still the case at this point. Caley is the leading candidate to take over New York’s offense, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports.
