5 linebackers for Rams to watch at NFL combine

With the Rams moving on from Bobby Wagner, inside linebacker could be a bigger priority in the draft

In what’s considered a surprising move, the Los Angeles Rams and Bobby Wagner have decided to mutually part ways after just one season. The Rams will release him at the start of the league year on March 15, opening a hole at inside linebacker.

The Rams still have Ernest Jones at inside linebacker, but the position is now a bigger priority than it appeared to be before the Wagner news. When it comes to the draft, the Rams probably won’t take a linebacker early, but there will be options in the middle rounds.

Here are five linebackers for them to watch at the combine this week.
