Clay Matthews

Potential savings: $3.75 million

Unless the Rams break the bank for Dante Fowler Jr., they’re bound to lose him this offseason. That leaves Matthews, Samson Ebukam and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo as the top pass rushers on the roster. The Rams will undoubtedly add an outside linebacker or two in the offseason, and moving on from Matthews is a legitimate possibility.

Los Angeles could use some extra money, and it can gain $3.75 million by releasing Matthews. While he played relatively well in 2019, he was a big beneficiary of playing next to Aaron Donald, constantly getting one-on-one opportunities and free rushes on stunts at times.
