Less than two years after their Super Bowl championship season, the Los Angeles Rams are hard to recognize.

EXPECTATIONS: Less than two years after their Super Bowl championship season, the Rams are hard to recognize. They’re voluntarily taking most of their major salary cap hits this year by gutting their roster and making no major free agent additions, leaving a skeleton crew of youngsters and castoffs to play around Aaron Donald, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp.

KEY LOSSES: CB Jalen Ramsey, LB Bobby Wagner, LB Leonard Floyd, WR Allen Robinson, DT Greg Gaines, S Taylor Rapp, S Nick Scott, G David Edwards, CB David Long Jr., QB Baker Mayfield, WR Brandon Powell, K Matt Gay, P Riley Dixon, LS Matt Orzech, G Chandler Brewer, DT A’Shawn Robinson, CB Troy Hill, RB Sony Michel.

WEAKNESSES: Offensive and defensive lines. The Rams’ only addition to the mediocre, injury-plagued O-line that allowed Stafford to get crushed repeatedly last year was second-round pick Steve Avila, who looks sharp at guard so far. The rest of the group is fairly unimpressive — but not quite as unimpressive as the undersized, undertalented players alongside Donald on the Rams’ defensive line, which could be one of the lightest in recent NFL history.
