Ex-Rams Player Eric Weddle Defends Troy Reeder Amid Fan Backlash

The Los Angeles Rams recently re-signed linebacker Troy Reeder, who has been with the team for five of his six NFL seasons. Despite criticism from some fans, former Rams player Eric Weddle defended Reeder, praising his on-field performance and off-field demeanor. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy also commended Reeder, calling him a consistent playmaker.

Reeder, now 31, had strong performances in his first three years with the Rams but saw a decline in production in recent seasons. While he may not start in 2025, Reeder could provide valuable depth and leadership in the locker room for the Rams' linebacker unit. The team may also look to add more competition through the upcoming NFL Draft to strengthen their defense under coordinator Chris Shula.
