The Los Angeles Rams are still adding coaches to their revamped team.
The Rams are anticipated to appoint former Eagles defensive assistant Sean Desai to a “senior defensive role,” per a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Sunday.

Following the team’s Wild Card loss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni fired Desai.An unprecedented hike to the league pay cap is scheduled for the 2024 season, according to an NFL release. Teams will receive an additional $30 million this offseason thanks to the raise in the cap to $255.4 million.
