Although the Los Angeles Rams have been far more aggressive this offseason than they were in 2017, they made several worthwhile moves a year ago. In addition to signing Andrew Whitworth, they also added Robert Woods, Nickell Robey-Coleman, John Sullivan and Kayvon Webster – many of which were overlooked.

Whitworth was the headliner of the group, and for good reason, solidifying the left side of the Rams’ offensive line. Despite being 35 years old at the time of signing Whitworth was still playing at a very high level and remains an All-Pro. He did a phenomenal job protecting Jared Goff last season en route to another Pro Bowl selection.

He landed on NFL.com’s all-time free agent team, which honors all the best signings in NFL history.

Yep, we’re putting a 2017 signing on this list. Why? Well, for starters, good luck finding another offensive tackle in the free-agency era who made first team All-Pro in his first year with his new team, like Whitworth did in ’17. The Rams’ line was an embarrassment before Whitworth arrived; with him last year, it was, dare we say, almost a team strength. Todd Gurley’s yard-per-carry mark went up by 1.5! Los Angeles also gave up 21 fewer sacks. Whitworth got much credit — deserved credit — for those developments.

Whitworth and the entire offensive line was a bit overlooked last season despite the Rams leading the league in points scored. He may be one of the oldest players in the league, but even at 36, he’s one of the best left tackles out there.
