The Los Angeles Rams have made a strategic move in their roster management by re-signing cornerback Derion Kendrick just days after initially releasing him. This decision came after cutting Kendrick, which saved the team $3.4 million in cap space. Head Coach Sean McVay clarified that the re-signing was primarily a financial maneuver, reflecting a careful approach to managing team resources while maintaining vital depth in the cornerback position, which remains a concern for the team's defensive unit.

McVay emphasized the importance of flexibility within the cap and how it allows them to make quick adjustments. The re-signing is seen as a way to ensure that Kendrick's familiarity with the team and defense remains intact, especially given the precarious state of their cornerback depth chart.
