Top Teams Eye Odell Beckham Jr. After Dolphins Release

"Carson Wentz's Start Against 49ers Crucial for Rams' Picks and Victory Strategy"

The Los Angeles Rams are set to debut quarterback Carson Wentz against the San Francisco 49ers, with key players like Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald resting. Wentz's performance could influence his future and potentially benefit the Rams through the NFL's compensatory draft selection formula. The Rams are projected to receive four compensatory picks in 2024 due to free agent departures. Wentz's success, akin to Baker Mayfield's with the Buccaneers, could lead to a starting role elsewhere and a compensatory pick for the Rams. However, the Rams' offseason spending habits could affect their compensatory pick strategy, especially with over $55 million in cap space available. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris could also earn the Rams additional third-round compensatory picks if he secures a head coaching position.
