Rams roster cuts are starting

If Battle doesn't make the practice squad that was a joke of a pick.

Something different being able to check it out.I thought of it as a cool experience.

I just saw the cuts. -- Bradley Marquez made the team once again.
Christian Bryant was a surprise cut to me. I think The Rams feel real comfortable with there safeties.He played well on special teams.

Aaron Green getting cut was sad.

I was watching the replay of the Vikings game & saw number ?? Akem Akers number in real late. I saw his contract was terminated .

Like I stated to Bonified or what ever his know it all NAme is. He was saying Akers was a starter & back up MLBer.

I saw that Bryce Hager was not really playing on the game.
Nick Grigsby real stepped up as well. He an Aaron Donald being Pittsburg guys.
-- Any surprise cuts for you ??

My biggest surprises where, Seau-Cam Thomas-Fox-Kush-Battle- McRoberts-Roberson and Bryant! BUT I have high Hopes for our 10 man PS!!

Relax, it was a 5th round pick...risk reward was fine. Hell, look at all the high picks from the last few drafts that were cut or are being shopped.

Don't look it up and name as many 5th round picks as you can who did anything. There are certainly some - but more often than not - they are JAGs

Yeah with 5th round picks being so valuable and such heavy contributors on a regular basis. The only other OT's drafted in the 5th round after where that pick would have been made (if we hadn't ended up trading it anyways) are either cut or on IR.

The release of Ayers for what it's worth freed up another $2 million roughly.

Ayers is the only big surprise even though he was awful in the preseason. Looks they will go reall young at LB, but I have no clue who starts at SLB. Proabbly a battle between Forrest and Littleton? Guys wont play a ton anyway, but interesting to see who wins there.

Real thin at safety. Is Whitner still out there? Even if he is just depth would make sense to replace him with the 7th WR

 

[Q729]

Is that one guy's practice squad tweet wishful thinking, or is that final?

Yeah, I can imagine they are looking to extend a few more guys so if they can use those savings and or carry that over to next season, it is a factor if Ayers was not clearly better than Forrest or the other rookies.

 

[StealYoGurley]

I also think only one of McRoberts and Duke make the practice squad because you got to figure they cut one of those 7 WRS and sneak him on the practice squad. Unless they are just planning on cutting Quick

Ayers was to make 3.3 mil. upon his release his dead $$ is 500K so a savings of nearly 2.8 mil.

$1 million of that was a roster bonus already paid.

Wishful thinking. They have to clear waivers first.

Yeah I go back and forth with that and overthecap.com. They still have his contract listed and up and it shows a roster bonus and a $150k other bonus along with a $2.150 base.
