LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams have finalized terms with No. 13 overall pick Ty Simpson, signing him to a four-year, $25.4 million fully guaranteed rookie contract that includes a $14.94 million signing bonus.
This is not a wait-and-see deal. The Rams are betting big on Simpson from day one, and the fully guaranteed structure makes that crystal clear. For a team that has consistently built through the draft under general manager Les Snead, landing a top-15 pick and getting him signed at the top of his slot is exactly how you build a contender. Simpson enters the league with immediate expectations, and the money reflects that.
Ed Berry of CAA Sports negotiated the terms, securing a deal that aligns with the top end of rookie contracts for players drafted in Simpson's slot. The fifth-year option gives the Rams control through at least the 2029 season — a critical lever for any franchise managing a young asset with this kind of upside. The $14.94 million signing bonus hits the cap across the life of the deal, which is standard, but it is a real upfront commitment that signals where Snead and the front office see this roster going.
With the contract official, Simpson can fully commit to preparations for his first NFL season. He is expected to report to training camp ready to compete for a starting role or real playing time. How he integrates into the Rams' system will be the central storyline as camp opens.
