The LA Rams have many players who are projected to test the 2021 NFL Free Agency market, but two such players whose contracts expired were almost certain to return to the team. Those players are inside linebacker Travin Howard and interior offensive lineman Coleman Shelton. Why were they certain to return? Well, they both fell into the category of Exclusive Rights Free Agents, a.k.a. ERFAs.
Now, you are probably asking: So what?
Well, this may mark a very small move towards the LA Rams Free Agency puzzle, but they are two key offers that are critical to the overall strategy of reassembling a roster capable of winning in the 2021 NFL season.
