The 2017 St. Louis Rams season was during the fourth year of NFLHC competition.
2017 Season
During the offseason transition between 2016 and 2017, the final 8 teams were added to NFLHC. Because of this, the Rams lost another 4 players to the expansion draft, Eric Peebles, Randy Humphreys, Justin Glass, and Billy Westbrook. The Rams also lost OLB Morris Millen to free agency when he turned down a deal from the Rams in favor of one from the Chicago Bears. During the 2017 draft, the Rams selected many defensive players to reload, but still drafted Shawn Anderson to take over for Bradie Sapp in the starting running back position. Near the end of the season, the Rams hired ethan_agan to come in and be their head scout.
During the season, the Rams were very hot and cold. After winning four straight games, another season ending injury to Gray Corbin crippled the Rams pass defense. The Rams would go on to lose their last 5 games. In the last two games of the season, the Rams controversially started C.J. Logan, and his disappointing starting debut against the Seattle Seahawks knocked this team out of playoff contention.
