The Rams claimed Derek Rivers off waivers from the Patriots late in November last year, adding depth to their outside linebacker group. He only played five games and was on the field for just a handful of snaps, contributing very little in his brief time with the Rams.
Because he was claimed off waivers, the Rams inherited his remaining contract from his time with the Patriots. That deal will now expire in March when he becomes a free agent.
Will the Rams give him another shot to prove himself this offseason by extending him? Or will they leave the experiment at just five games and let him walk in free agency.
