The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2024 regular season with the 11th-fewest sacks. USA Today’s Tyler Dragon believes an upgrade is in order and suggests Philadelphia Eagles EDGE Josh Sweat.
He posted 8.0 sacks for the current champions during the regular season. Sweat added another 5.0 during the playoffs.
“The edge rusher produced a game-high 2.5 sacks in what was a dominant Super Bowl 59 performance,” Dragon wrote on February 11. “Sweat changed his representation, which is a sign he’s seeking a big pay raise. Will the Eagles be able to re-sign him? He’ll have plenty of suitors, especially after his play in Super Bowl 59. Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse and Sweat would form an imposing pass rush duo.”
CBS Sports’ Leger Douzable called Sweat his “unsung hero.” of the game.

My “Unsung Hero” from yesterday’s Super Bowl. Josh Sweat. He was dominate yesterday and made life uneasy for Pat Mahomes.
Sweat, 27, had an 11.0 sack season in 2022. Aaron Donald (2021) is the last Rams player to record a double-digit-sack season. Sweat could add some punch to the Rams’ defensive attack if the Eagles do not re-sign him.
He is set to be an unrestricted free agent after agreeing to a one-year, $10 million contract to return
to the Eagles in 2024.
