The Los Angeles Rams have been hard at work preparing for not only free agency and the NFL draft, but also examining which players could be cut by other teams this offseason. It’s an important part of roster-building because there are quality players cut by teams each and every year for financial reasons.

Some have already been determined, such as Nigel Bradham, Paul Richardson, Josh Norman and Vernon Hargraves, but we’re looking at 11 other players who could be cut this offseason that would potentially interest the Rams.

They’re grouped by position, beginning with inside linebackers.

LB Avery Williamson

Williamson missed the entire 2019 season with a torn ACL and could now be out in New York. It was a freak injury, as he played all but one game in his career prior to that point. Coming from a 3-4 defense, he’d slide in seamlessly at inside linebacker if Cory Littleton were to leave. He’s certainly someone the Rams should call immediately if he’s cut by the Jets.

LB Dont’a Hightower

Bill Belichick has always been one to move on from a player a year early rather than a year late, and Hightower could be the latest example of that. He’ll be 30 in March and is on the decline of his career, but he’d still be the Rams’ best linebacker if Littleton doesn’t return. His versatility as a pass rusher provides added value, too. The Rams got a good taste of his ability in Super Bowl LIII and he’s coming off a season with 71 tackles and 5.5 sacks.
