Thats my point. He will be on the 53 just to protect him from being scooped up. The problem is it’s an obvious dead roster spot unless one of the big four can’t play.

For some reason I was thinking Rivers made the initial 53 man roster last year but he was actually initially cut, added to the practice squad, and elevated midseason. I could see the same thing this year, nobody's going to touch him if he's cut and he'll be available whenever we need him.
Bailey on the other hand has a solid chance of being Lampkin'd by another team if he gets cut.
SHHH, do you wish to get thread-banned?! We do not speak of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!
Also to the Ronnie Rivers point, I'm not sure if not playing in the preseason actually means the player is completely safe or if the coaches just don't need to see anything from them. Can anyone recall if a player under McVay who didn't dress in preseason still ended up being cut?
My bad haha not trying to start a discussion at all on that point, just using a recent example
IMO, that's exactly what is going to happen. He's going to get cut and added back later again.
And now we have come full circle. I don’t want to trade any of the big 4. There’s a title to be won and all 4 are proven commodities.
So that means Klare gets “stashed” on the 53 with little or no hope of seeing the field unless one of the big 4 can’t go.
I would not go so far as to call his roster spot “wasted”, but this is a tough lineup to crack.
Why would they need to get rid of either TE? We knew from the moment they drafted Klare early that they would likely carry 5 TEs.
I do not understand the eagerness to weaken a strong position in a year when we're the SB favorites.
I've posted this numerous times. As far as I know, there has never been a player who didn't dress in preseason that has been cut. Last year, Rivers played in the 1st preseason game indicating that he wasn't safe.
I call this stat the Preseason Predictor Index and so far, its undefeated. I'm aure at some point that will change, but a general rule seems to be that McVay protects the players that are safe.

Hes Stashed on the 53 for next year. Then unleashed in 2027.
Pretty low mileage though.

I'm not so sure Klare doesn't get some playing time this year. He did get some reps with the 1st team in camp with Allen out.
With as much as we're expecting McVay to use 13 personnel, I think the expectation is that he'll have some contribution this year.
Didn’t that happen last season. They kept hunter and sent rivers to the ps. Rivers’s played more.
That's exactly what happened.
I think the 3rd RB ... who I believe was Hunter ... not playing was mostly a reflection of the top-two-RBs (Williams and Corum) being healthy all season ... both played all 17 games ... that's rare.
Rivers was the better Special Teams player, so he was active for 11 games, compared to Hunter's 5 games.
I have no idea what the Rams will do at RB in the coming days.
Yeah they do that almost every year. Rivers specifically has been cut I think almost every year and added to PS. I fully expect Rivers to be cut again and added to PS this year. Feel like they used to do that with past RBs like Malcolm Brown and maybe even Daryll Henderson one season towards the end.
