The Los Angeles Rams entered Tuesday with only three off-ball linebackers on their active roster. Christian Rozeboom signed a contract with the Carolina Panthers, Jake Hummel signed with the Baltimore Ravens, and Troy Reeder remains unsigned but could return to Los Angeles. Finally, their three linebackers have combined for 20 career starts.

Nate Landman had a decent 2024 campaign, missing four games (Weeks 2-5) with a quad and calf injury, and upon returning, excelled against the run but was a liability in pass coverage. Landman recorded 81 tackles, one pass deflection, and three forced fumbles in 13 games and nine starts. The former undrafted free agent registered 21 total stops but allowed 261 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a 144.0 passer rating in coverage.
The Atlanta Falcons chose not to tender Landman, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
