Much of the wildcard forces that will impact the LA Rams 2021 roster decisions will come down to where the Rams feel vulnerable to injuries, where the team can optimize the production with a good rotation, and how comfortable the coaching staff is with the starters and their ability to stay fresh over a 17-game season. However, it’s a good starting point from which to start the discussion, and there is a bit of analysis, along with some rationalization, as to why the roster transactions are presented with that outcome. We understand that this is just a projection, and almost no projections are 100 percent accurate. We’ve done our best to discuss and project what we believe to be the most likely 53-man active roster plus practice squad roster projection. Later in the 2020 season, the LA Rams (as many teams did) began to use the extra practice squad roster spots to carry an extra special teams specialist entourage that included an additional long snapper, placekicker, and punter to back up the active roster in the unlikely event of COVID-19 positive testing and subsequent quarantine. Just as in 2020, the practice squad roster can be up to 16-players. Keep in mind that the roster must remain at or below 53, so any team successfully claiming a player off waivers must have or create a corresponding open roster spot to add the newly claimed player.Īs soon as the deadline for submitting a claim for waived players begins, teams can begin to sign available players (not on an active 53-man roster) to their practice squads. Waiver claims and practice squad signingsĪny team wishing to claim waived players must submit a claim on or before 1:00 pm PT on Wednesday, September 1. Of course, carrying three quarterbacks on the roster this year means one less player on the roster from another position. That means former UDFA Bryce Perkins, who played and impresses nearly the entire preseason, will be on the initial 53-man roster along with QB2 Wolford and QB1 Stafford.- Jourdan Rodrigue August 31, 2021 The Rams have decided to keep three QBs on their initial roster, according to multiple sources with knowledge. Backup quarterback John Wolford is in the last year of his current contract, and Perkins was very poised and efficient in his preseason work. There was a pretty lengthy debate among the LA Rams coaches and personnel department over whether to keep QB Bryce Perkins on the 53-man roster. LAST UPDATED: August 31, 2021, 1:50 pm PT Rams to keep three QBsĪpparently, the impasse has been broken. The process of submitting a waiver claim is subject to the same priority rules as always, with the team with the worst 2020 NFL record being awarded the player over other claims. If you are reading this on the morning of Monday, August 30th, that is just over 24 hours away.Īfter teams have shed their mandatory 27 players to fit under the 53 man roster, they will be able to adjust their rosters by submitting waiver claims for the just-released players. The NFL deadline to get to the 53-man limit is currently established as Tuesday, August 31 at 1:00 pm PT. We’re about to start down the path of the LA Rams roster cuts. Okay, grab your cup o’ joe and plop down in your favorite chair (or office chair if you are back to the weekly grind), because today is the beginning of the dreaded annual roster pruning.
