What happened: The Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions are among the potential fits discussed for Stetson Bennett. Los Angeles must weigh draft compensation against keeping experienced depth behind Matthew Stafford.

Why it matters: Bennett’s expiring rookie deal gives the Rams a decision before the regular season. Quarterback uncertainty elsewhere could create a market, but the expected return is limited.

By the numbers: Bennett entered the 2026 preseason with 1,296 passing yards and eight touchdowns across seven appearances, including six starts.

What to watch: Roster cutdowns and the Rams’ backup-quarterback decision will determine whether trade interest develops into negotiations.
