11 free agents the Rams should legally tamper with this week

The Rams should gauge the market for these 11 free agents before the new league year begins.

Patriots LB Jamie Collins

Collins rebounded nicely with the Patriots last season, doing it all on New England’s league-leading defense. He had 81 tackles, seven sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles in 2019, arguably his best season ever in the NFL despite not making the Pro Bowl.

His ability to play any linebacker spot would be something likely coveted by Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, who emphasized the importance of versatility up front. Collins would solve a lot of the Rams’ problems for a reasonable price.

Titans LB Kamalei Correa

Correa is a Swiss army knife, being able to play inside or outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. In only five starts, he recorded 37 tackles and five sacks for the Titans last season, making six tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

He also falls under that second or third tier of defenders in free agency and shouldn’t cost too much on the open market. The Rams should give his agent a call to find out how much Correa is seeking.
