6 realistic free-agent LB targets for the Rams this offseason

The Rams could go after these six linebackers if Cory Littleton leaves.

Bynes has bounced around the NFL throughout his career, but he returned to the team that drafted him in 2019 and played fairly well. He made 45 tackles, had one sack and broke up four passes in 12 games (seven starts). Bynes is best against the run and would likely come off the field on third down, but that wouldn’t be an issue for the Rams, who love to use nickel and dime packages.

Bynes wouldn’t be very expensive at all, considering he’ll be 31 next season and has never been a top linebacker, but he’d provide some depth and competition for Micah Kiser, Travin Howard and Troy Reeder.
