Rams Connected With Tyrann Mathieu, Stephon Gilmore
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams have been connected with free-agent safety Tyrann Mathieu and cornerback Stephon Gilmore, according to a source. If the Rams were to sign Gilmore, he would occupy the outside cornerback role opposite Jalen Ramsey. The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue hasn't gotten the sense that the Rams front office has had developing conversations with Mathieu at this point. It doesn't rule out current mutual or future interest, but it makes the Rams priorities more clear in the short term. Mathieu could occupy a traditional safety role with the ability to play the "star" position in Los Angeles. The Rams won't be able to offer either player what they can get on the open market, so it remains to be seen if Mathieu or Gilmore will take less to play for one of the best defenses in the NFL.
