NFL exec claims Les Snead promised Ty Simpson's agent Rams would draft QB
An NFL executive claims Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead made a deal with Ty Simpson's agent, Jimmy Sexton, promising the Alabama QB wouldn't fall past the Rams in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Rams had previously targeted Simpson with the 29th pick before trading it for Trent McDuffie.
An NFL executive says Les Snead, GM of the Los Angeles Rams, made a deal with Ty Simpson's agent, Jimmy Sexton, promising the Alabama QB wouldn't get past the Rams in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Snead reportedly told Simpson's dad that his son was a first-round talent when he was deciding whether to declare for the draft. The Rams had previously targeted Simpson with the 29th pick before trading it for Trent McDuffie. They were planning to take Simpson at 13 if he were available. The Rams have liked Simpson for a long time, according to Mike LaFleur, who said their interest went back to last season. It's unclear whether Snead made the deal before or after the trade, but the Rams' interest in Simpson was not a last-minute decision.
