No real surprises here with a few of these guys probably making the PS.

Of this early group, i'm hoping at least C Hrynkiewicz, DB Gervase, WR Greene, TE Blanton & DT Roberts pass thru waivers and can make it to our practice squad. jmo.

No huge surprises here. Looks like the coaches agree with most of us about the value of Wolfie over Allen at QB.

Any truth to the rumor that the Rams used safety pins for the name on Beechams Jersey? :sneaky:
 
It's the last 19 that will be the hardest. They must be taking calls and watching the wire before making those. I hope they keep Wolford on the active roster right now. They can sneak him to the PS later. But they will need Wolford after this season as Bortles will be gone.

The best part is that in reality Wolford makes Bortles expendable, i.e. trade bait. Another reason to keep 3, because QB's get hurt on other teams during the season. But my first call I I were Snead would be to Indy. They are actively looking for a veteran backup.

Don’t trade Bortles hahaha

He costs us just $1 million and is an experienced backup at the most important position. The only way that’s an option is if they offer us multiple first rounders which they are very unlikely to do.

You never know someone might trade us a 4th for him. Next off-season, Bortles could probably sign between a 5-8M range as a skilled backup and vet. That could gross a 5th to 6th round comp pick in 2021. It's more likely we grab the early to mid 4th if someone is willing to offer it.

So a Super Bowl contender is going to trade a proven veteran backup QB during the season for a mid round pick? I thought people around he felt McSnead were smart.
 
Los Angeles Rams roster bubble update: Final Cuts

Who’s at risk of missing the final 53 man roster?

This is the weekend that fringe NFL players dread. Nearly 1,200 players will have their dreams snuffed out, and while some have hope to succeed via practice squads this will be the end of the road for most of those players.
The Los Angeles Rams have already begun trimming their roster, but they have a lot of work to do before they get to 53. Who is in the most danger?

Jamil Demby
Demby has struggled mightily throughout the preseason, but luckily for him the Rams are desperate for depth along the offensive line. Especially after suspended OL Aaron Neary broke his ankle in preseason action. Ultimately I think he makes the roster.

Khadarel Hodge/Nsimba Webster
Both Hodge and Webster have played well throughout the preseason, but whereas the OL is in desperate need of help, the wide receiver position is on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Rams are absolutely loaded at WR, and I think both of these promising WRs are on the outside looking in tomorrow.

John Wolford
This isn’t much of a stretch. Unless the Rams decide to carry three QBs, Wolford will be waived.

Dakota Allen/Travin Howard
The Rams are in an interesting position at ILB. Micah Kiser is injured, Clay Matthews will rotate between OLB and ILB, and the Rams are left looking for depth behind Bryce Hager and Cory Littleton.
Allen and Howard both showed well for the majority of the preseason. Unfortunately for them, there is likely only one spot to be had.

Darious Williams/Kevin Peterson
Williams and Peterson are in a similar postion. While I think there is a small chance they both make the roster, that seems unlikely given the uncertainties at OL and ILB. Special Teams coordinator John Fassel will likely have a large say in which player stick around with the other likely headed for the practice squad.
