The Rams seek experienced depth behind Matthew Stafford by considering free agent Jimmy Garoppolo and recently released Kirk Cousins for backup roles in 2026.

- McVay, who previously coached Cousins while serving as offensive coordinator for Washington from 2014 to 2016, has been in contact with the four-time Pro Bowler's agent regarding potential interest.

- "Jimmy and Kirk are guys that I would love to be able to have back with us," McVay told Pro Football Talk on Monday, emphasizing the team's ongoing search for depth.
