Like many other teams around the NFL, the Los Angeles Rams strategically pick their spots in free agency so as to maximize the number of compensatory picks they receive for their departures. They often target players who were released by their previous teams or wait until after the draft to sign free agents because neither counts against compensatory picks.
So far this offseason, it’s been all about losses rather than additions for the Rams. They’ve lost Baker Mayfield, Nick Scott, Taylor Rapp, David Long Jr., Greg Gaines, Matt Gay, Brandon Powell, Riley Dixon and David Edwards already, yet the Rams haven’t signed a single outside free agent.
