In recent years, several players from the Los Angeles Rams‘ Super Bowl LVI-winning team have left the franchise. However, head coach Sean McVay is now eyeing the potential return of one of those stars who helped Matthew Stafford lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The Los Angeles Rams are poised to make major changes this year. After their Super Bowl LVI victory, the team was expected to maintain its dominance, but it has fallen short of expectations in the seasons since.

Nevertheless, the front office believes the Rams can return to their former glory. For that reason, they are pursuing key acquisitions to contend for another title and reestablish themselves as a competitive force in the NFL.

“He is a total stud,” McVay said of Ramsey, via ProFootballTalk. “And you look at — obviously he has continued to play at a really high level. He and I have kept in great touch even since we ended up trading him to Miami. Special competitor, great person, great father.

“And so there are a lot of layers when you’re talking about a player of his caliber, all right, with regards to the contract, the compensation that they would be looking for in exchange for receiving a player of his magnitude. And so those conversations are ongoing as I’m sure they are with multiple teams. And we’ll see, but we’re never gonna shy away from opportunities to increase the competitiveness of our roster or add great players as long as it fits within the framework of everything that an acquisition like that would entail.”
