Malcolm Brown

Potential savings: $1.1 million

Last offseason, the Rams only planned to keep Brown for one year. They assigned him a one-year tender before the Lions made him a two-year offer, which the team matched. He’s a decent backup and someone the Rams coaching staff really trusts, but let’s be honest: Darrell Henderson needs more touches in 2020.

The Rams can find a cheaper replacement for Brown in the draft and lean on Henderson as Todd Gurley’s backup. Les Snead and Sean McVay didn’t spend a third-round pick on Henderson – who they considered an Alvin Kamara-type – to essentially keep him on the bench for two years. Cutting Brown would open the door for Henderson to contribute more.
