The Rams could be interested in these six free agents, all of whom played for Kevin O’Connell.

When McVay was hired in 2017, he hoped Lance Dunbar could become the Rams’ version of Thompson. Now, McVay has a chance to get Thompson himself. O’Connell worked with him for the last three years and while injuries limited him, he’s one of the better receiving backs out there and if the Rams move on from Malcolm Brown or Todd Gurley, he’d be a nice addition to the backfield.

His age and injury history are a concern, but he shouldn’t cost too much to sign if the Rams want him.
