Should Rams Upgrade and Sign Browns C Ethan Pocic?
"What could have been..." may be the biggest question coming out of the disappointing 2022 season for the Los Angeles Rams, if not for the countless injuries that helped derail a chance at defending their Super Bowl.
No position group may have been hit harder than the offensive line for the Rams, which featured a new starter upfront in each of the first 12 games. Among those starters that missed time was center Brian Allen.
Allen played in just seven games last fall, which is why the Touchdown Wire believes it may be in the best interest of the Rams to move on from Allen and sign Ethan Pocic.
"Starting center Brian Allen has been injured far too often for the Rams to trust him again in 2023. Though he’s still under contract, the Rams should consider releasing him and signing Pocic instead. Pocic started 13 games for the Browns last season and finished fourth in pass block and run block win rate at his position, making him one of the best available centers this offseason. The offensive line was Los Angeles’ biggest issue in 2022 and signing Pocic would help remedy that problem."

Pocic, the former 2017 second-round draft pick, would give the Rams a mainstay in the middle of the offensive line and could come to Los Angeles without asking for a lot of money.
