The Rams’ offensive line made major improvements in 2020 after a year of struggles the season prior. Austin Blythe was a big reason for that, proving to be an upgrade over Brian Allen in the middle of the line.
That came after the Rams gave Blythe a one-year deal last offseason, keeping him in place between the two guards. Blythe will be a free agent for the second straight year, however, and after taking a one-year deal, he’s probably played his way into a long-term extension.
Can the Rams afford to give him another contract or will they let him walk in free agency?
