Rams 2022 free agency preview: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo may seek bigger role elsewhere

Ogbonnia Okoronkwo has been a role player with the Rams, so he may look for a starting role elsewhere

Ogbonnia Okoronkwo was a fifth-round pick in 2018 so it’s not as if expectations were terribly high for the Oklahoma product. But he was still a player fans were excited about, given Wade Phillips’ track record of succeeding with smaller edge rushers.

In the last four years, Okoronkwo has struggled to stay healthy, playing only 33 games. And while he’s shown flashes of being a productive pass rusher, he hasn’t done enough to become a starter.

Now a free agent, will Okoronkwo seek greener pastures elsewhere? Or will the Rams bring him back for another year?
