The Los Angeles Rams have secured linebacker Nate Landman with a veteran minimum contract, valued at $1.1 million for one season, devoid of any guarantees. This strategic signing comes after the Rams lost both Christian Rozeboom and Jake Hummel to free agency, addressing a critical need at the linebacker position. Landman, who previously played as a starter for the Atlanta Falcons, stated that his decision to join the Rams was an "easy choice," primarily due to his connection with former Falcons defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, now on the Rams' coaching staff.

This contract structure presents a no-risk opportunity for the Rams. With the ability to release Landman at any point without incurring any penalty, the team remains insulated if he underperforms during training camp. Most likely, Landman will secure a spot on the 53-man roster, contributing to the Rams' defensive lineup this season.
