Rams waive QB Josh Love, sign two linebackers

The Rams made four roster moves on Tuesday, with Josh Love’s departure being the most notable.

Rosters won’t be settled until the start of the regular season as teams continue to shuffle their 80-man squads during training camp. The Los Angeles Rams made a handful of moves Tuesday, the most notable of which was waiving quarterback Josh Love.

Along with Love, they cut linebacker Bryan London. To take their roster spots, the Rams brought back Daniel Bituli, who they originally signed as an undrafted rookie this year, and added linebacker Derrick Moncrief, who went undrafted in 2017 and spent some time in the CFL.

With Love being waived, fellow undrafted rookie Bryce Perkins appears to have grabbed hold of the QB3 spot. It’s not yet clear how many quarterbacks the Rams will carry this season, but if they bring three into Week 1, Perkins will be the third guy behind Jared Goff and John Wolford.

Bituli was signed in April and waived at the beginning of August, but the Rams appear to be searching for options at linebacker. He’s a physical thumper who’s better against the run than the pass, but he could contribute on special teams, too.

As for Moncrief, he was a CFL All-Star in 2019 after recording 73 tackles for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He also picked off three passes, had four sacks and forced a fumble. Moncrief signed a futures contract with the Raiders this January but was waived in May.
