I am not sure what the LA Rams do at kick returner with Raymond Calais gone, but Jeremiah Haydel had done much of that work in preseason games, so I'll be curious what the team does there. Also not sure if the Rams outright cut Obo. But overall, not a bad projection.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Good to know. Thanks for letting me knowby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
By now you probably have had your fill of final roster projections. I found this one to be a bit unique as it allows room for a player to be signed off waivers for the active roster and two slots on the practice squad for anyone who might interest the LA Rams. Based on their recent history, that's not a bad assumption. The article is pretty long and has 4 slides, so I didn't clip and paste theby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
The challenge with accepting John Wolford as the Rams' backup quarterback is how much differently he plays the position than the starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford is a surgeon with the offense, and will be expected to pick apart defenses with his arm. He will do so by passing from sideline to sideline, from short to intermediate to deep routes. Unfortunately, that is nothing likeby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
It seemed that the hiccup was that he was an RFA, and the Bills did not provide him with a qualifying tender offer. In fact, the team had already signed his replacement. The Bills apparently had a rather stringent budget for punter, and felt that Bojorquez would exceed that salary number. So they let him test free agency.

Due to Italian Max Pircher's participation in the International Pathway Program, he will likely be waived and added as a 17th exempt practice squad roster spot.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com

Good question. I think it's along the lines of Andrew Whitworth's ankle procedure after the 2019 season. He used the term 'clean up'. I suspect this is to clean up his knee from a minor cartilage tear or bone chip.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow Yep. A conditional 6th rounder that could be a 5th if he plays 50 percent of the plays. The Rams would have been set if they had made a deal like that.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
To which team? The 'Dead Cap' money should remain the same for the Patriots regardless, as that is merely the unamortized remaining portion of his signing bonus.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com

6 rising stars on Rams D? I'd probably have a couple more... but not a bad list. "...Some decisions will be easy. Other decisions will be difficult.

The LA Rams needed another running back (seemed to be a consensus) The LA Rams needed a power back, and Sony Michel definitely can run between the tackles and break tackles. The LA Rams traded for a 1st round running back who is entering the prime of his career and his contract year. The LA Rams got a guy who averages over 750 yards and 4 TDs per season, while playing less than a third of theby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Is twofold. First, the Jacksonville Jaguars lost a running back as well, and will get the first dibs on any running back they choose on the waiver wire. Secondly, while a lot of players will hit the waiver wire, there is no guarantee that one that is sent packing will fit the Rams criteria. Sony Michel fits what the Rams want, huge value IMHO. The value of draft picks is overrated. A day 3by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Updated terms per Ian Rapaport Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 2h Compensation update: It’s a 5th rounder and 6th rounder this year that converts to a 4th rounder when/if the #Rams get a 4th round comp pick. Complicated, but essentially Sony Michel for a 4th round pick. Solid value.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com

You'd think that medical updates over the star running back would be a matter of interest to keep tabs on... wonder why it's so hush-hush..?!by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, and the Rams and Lions have proven a willingness to help one another out in terms of roster transactions. I wouldn't be surprised if the two teams trade at the roster cut deadlineby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Ernest Jones is developing at a pretty rapid clip. Could see him in a starting role before this year is up.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
Bryce Perkins has a chance to end the preseason with a statement game. While he may not overtake John Wolford on the depth chart in 2021. He is likely making it awfully difficult for the Rams front office to offer much on a contract extension in 2022.by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
At least one website believes that the Rams will pick up a new RB before the season starts: Their old projections: "Player Carries Yards TDs Henderson 140 700 6 Jones 130 600 8 Funk 100 420 4 Anderson 90 350 3" Now theirby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com

The Rams, Bengals, and Giants all submitted claims for Cards center Lamont Gaillard. Bengals sucked in 2020 and were awarded him. Now, Gaillard is back on waivers. I wonder if the Rams will put in a claim for him this time?by HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com

Due to the NFL roster rules, any players assigned to the reserve COVID-19 roster do not count against the active roster. With both punters on reserve COVID-19 list, I believe that the Rams have met their 80-man limit. But that does mean that if the team intends to activate either Johnny Hekker or Corey Bojorquez back to the active roster, the Rams will need to create an open slot on the rosby HornsUpRamily! - RamsFootballFans.com
