Los Angeles signed defensive tackle Cam Thomas
, quarterback Dylan Thompson, tight endBenson Browne, and running back Terrence Magee.
Originally drafted by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2010 draft, Thomas has played in 85 games over his NFL career, starting 25. He played his first four years in San Diego, registering 6.0 sacks. He then signed with the Steelers in 2014, appearing in 31 games over the last two seasons mainly as a rotational player.
Thomas, who turns 30 on Dec. 12, likely figures in as a similar rotational piece for Los Angeles.
Thompson, Browne, and Magee recently had workouts with the Rams and each were impressive enough to catch on with the club.
Thompson spent 2015 with the 49ers after signing with the club as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. In his senior season, Thompson led the SEC in yards passing with 3,564. Thompson also played with Rams rookie receiver Pharaoh Cooper in college.
Magee bounced between the Ravens active roster and practice squad throughout the 2015 season after signing with the club as a UDFA out of LSU. He recorded two carries in his limited playing time. Baltimore waived Magee in May.
Browne is a rookie, having played his college ball at N.C. State where he was mainly a blocking tight end.
For their corresponding roster moves, the Rams have waived wide receiver Kain Colter and linebacker Zack Hodges. Defensive tackle Doug Worthington has also been released.
And wide receiver Stedman Bailey has also been waived with a non-football injury distinction. Head coach Jeff Fisher is scheduled to speak with the media after tomorrow’s OTA practice, and will likely address Bailey’s situation.

We are now at 90. These cuts also to me means to me that they like the UDFA LBs more than some/most of the LBs holdovers. Chubb? Littleton?
Overall nothing really exciting on the signings other than the DT we've all talked about. Sucks to see Bailey waived but did anybody really think with the concussion/head injury awareness what is was that an NFL team would sign on to somebody shot in the head twice to play football? I am glad they're bringing him back when he clears waivers in a coaching role.
Trying to figure out Bailey's future I can across this about a Texan player given same designation.

Texans waive David Quessenberry with non-football injury designation
Posted by Josh Alper on May 31, 2016, 10:05 AM EDT
AP
Earlier this month, offensive lineman David Quessenberry said that he felt strong as he worked to make it back on the field after his football career was halted by a diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma in June 2014.
Quessenberry’s comeback effort has now been put on hold, however. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Texans are waiving Quessenberry with a non-football injury designation on Tuesday.
If Quessenberry, a 2013 sixth-round pick who has never played in a regular season game, clears waivers, he would revert to the Texans’ non-football injury list or could reach an injury settlement with the team that makes him a free agent. Those are not the only options, however.
Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com reports that the Texans would like Quessenberry back in “some capacity” that could include a job in the organization that doesn’t include playing for the team.

I stated earlier in another thread that the Rams would do the right thing. Could give him a settlement for final year and some work in the organization. Hope they do as he works on playing again.

If QB Dylan Thompson is going to wear #5, Does that mean they have also cut Foles!? That was the number he was wearing!!

Actually Thompson is donning #2.
Unfortunately, being good at one level doesn't always equate to being good at the next level. I did like Hodges and was hoping he'd make an impact in 2016 but it won't be with the RAMS!
