In a monumental move that bridges past glory with a bold new future, the Los Angeles Rams have officially welcomed back one of their most iconic legends. Roman Gabriel, the storied quarterback who defined Rams football in the late 1960s and early ’70s, is returning to the organization — this time as a co-owner.
The announcement was made earlier today by Rams owner E. Stanley Kroenke alongside the Gabriel family at a press conference held at SoFi Stadium. The news sent waves of excitement throughout the NFL community and Rams fanbase alike.
“This is a full-circle moment,” said Kroenke. “Roman Gabriel isn’t just a Rams legend — he’s a symbol of toughness, leadership, and excellence. Bringing him back into the fold as a co-owner represents a new era of unity between the team’s heritage and its future.”
Gabriel, 84, was visibly emotional during the announcement. “This franchise has meant everything to me,” he said. “To return now — not as a player, but as a part of the ownership that will shape its next chapters — is an incredible honor. I look forward to working with the front office, coaches, and fans to continue building a championship legacy.”
Gabriel was the NFL MVP in 1969 and led the Rams to multiple playoff appearances during his tenure. Known for his cannon arm, resilience, and leadership, he remains one of the most respected figures in franchise history. The return of Gabriel as co-owner brings added excitement to the Rams’ 2025 season, which already features a highly anticipated roster and revamped coaching staff.
Sources close to the organization indicate that Gabriel’s role will include advising on player development, community outreach, and helping preserve the Rams’ historical legacy.
Fans and former teammates have flooded social media with tributes, calling it a “storybook reunion” and “the return of a true Ram.”
As the Rams aim to recapture championship form, the return of one of their all-time greats could be just the inspiration needed.
