Ronnie Rivers will be back with Rams in 2025
The Los Angeles Rams are not going to lose running back Ronnie Rivers, as the team announced a new deal with him on Sunday. A restricted free agent, Rivers is most likely coming back on an agreement that would have been for less money — and no guaranteed money — compared to the RFA tender.
This is what teams usually do with restricted free agents who they like, but don’t love.
The Rams have agreed to terms with RB Ronnie Rivers, the team announced.

An undrafted free agent out of Fresno State in 2022, Rivers has rushed for 249 yards in three seasons with the Rams. He has also caught 15 passes for 85 yards, but Rivers has yet to score his first NFL touchdown.
The Rams are potentially looking to make a long-term agreement with starter Kyren Williams and backup Blake Corum was drafted in the third round in 2024, making him a likely successor just in case. However, Corum didn’t have a standout rookie season and the depth chart could be up in the air a little bit. Although seeing Rivers with an increased role would be surprising.
Rivers had 22 carries for 99 yards and five catches for 34 yards in 2024.
