Rams waive 8 players before start of new league year

The Los Angeles Rams have to get under the salary cap by next Wednesday when the new league year begins and they’ve begun taking steps toward getting there. On Friday, they released outside linebacker Leonard Floyd after three season, which cleared $3 million off the books.

Later on, they waived eight other players from the 90-man offseason roster, none of whom made the 53-man roster last season.

Below is the list of players waived by Los Angeles.

Wasn't sure where to put this. 95 is a ripe old age. It wasn't that long ago when this happened.

I wonder how the they keep doing this year after year?

NFLPA publicly bashes the Bengals, issue could impact Browns
Issues of workers’ compensation benefits lead to public statement

By JaredMueller@JaredKMueller Mar 12, 2023, 8:35am EDT 0 Comments / 0 New

The messy world of politics and the messy world of professional sports intersect it many ways and have over the years. We have another example of that on the eve of NFL free agency with an issue that could impact all professional sports in Ohio.

The NFLPA has been more vocal lately about the care that their players get. Recently, they released the results of a players’ survey about the treatment of players by each team. The survey brought out problems within the Baltimore Ravens and a number of other teams.

With one of the more exciting parts of the NFL offseason just around the corner, the NFLPA put out a statement yesterday deriding the Cincinnati Bengals:


A copy of the letter sent to players was then acquired by a Cincinnati reporter:




Since we are not attorneys, the layman's understanding seems to be that Mike Brown and the Bengals ownership group want professional athletes treated differently than traditional employees.

While Cincinnati’s ownership is pushing the bill, according to the NFLPA, the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Guardians and Columbus Blue Jackets and Columbus Crew, and any other professional teams in the state, would be impacted.


In the NFLPA’s letter, there are assertions that if Ohio has this pass it could impact ever NFL club in the future.

With free agency right around the corner, it will be interesting if the release of this information has any impact on free agency. The Bengals were not expected to be big players in the market, including losing Jessie Bates III, as they prepare to try to sign Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase to big, long-term deals.

My guess if the CBA has language that includes the workers compensation as indicated in point 1 this would go poorly for this. The state could make a change but doubtful it would impact NFl players if the language is in the contract. It might be a sticking point in the next iteration.

can't blame him for trying tho.

Yea, it's a pipe dream for certain.

I'm sure many teams making cuts to get under the cap are asking the same question.

j/c...

Can we petition the league to move to the NFC?

Good God! What a steal of a deal for Miami.

Ramsey is getting $36.9 million 2 year fully guaranteed contract in Miami.

Here is confirmation from a more reliable source than myself about Ramsey's reworked contract.

Wow! They got taken behind the wood shed.

Ouch. Not a fan of what that likely means for the DT market.

It's like the market for most NFL positions. As the salary cap rises the cost of talent also rises. We see it eluded to on this very forum a lot.

ie.... "The contract looks expensive now but in a year or two it will look like a bargain."

Big time DTs at reasonable rates have proven to be rather elusive on the open market.

Isn't this report from Mike Florio? The idiot who talked from both sides of his mouth during the Watson signing?

Here is a report from a more reputable source.

Jonu Smith was very productive when he was in Tennessee. The OC was Arthur Smith, who is now the HC in ATL.

This is kind of a big deal.

A huge deal! Wow!
