The Los Angeles Rams made a notable change in their secondary by waiving cornerback Derion Kendrick, who did not play last season due to a torn ACL. Kendrick, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, was expected to earn $3.4 million this upcoming season. His release raises questions about the Rams' plans for their defensive backfield as they head into the season.

With Kendrick's departure, the Rams must reassess their roster and explore potential options to bolster their secondary. The move signals a shift in the team's strategy, especially considering Kendrick's prior potential and contributions before his injury.
