The Los Angeles Rams are making headlines with recent roster moves, including the surprising cut of quarterback Derion Kendrick, a strategic shift aimed at freeing up salary cap space. Cutting Kendrick saves the team approximately $3.4 million, a significant amount as they prepare for the upcoming mini-camp. Despite starting 18 games from 2022 to 2023, Kendrick’s recovery from an ACL injury and off-field distractions hindered his chances of contributing this season.

In light of these developments, the Rams are evaluating potential cap casualties ahead of mini-camp. Tight end Colby Parkinson is under scrutiny due to his underwhelming performance last season, which could see the Rams saving $5.25 million should they decide to move on from him. The team's management appears to be weighing their options carefully, with the future of other players like Quintes Cephus also in question.
