The Rams are on break until training camp next month, but that doesn’t mean Les Snead and Sean McVay aren’t at work churning the roster. We’ve seen the Rams make several changes in recent weeks, signing two free-agent receivers, Tyler Johnson and Demarcus Robinson, as well as running back Sony Michel.
On Wednesday, they made another move. According to Aaron Wilson, the Rams waived undrafted rookie receiver Sam James, who they signed out of West Virginia. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering the Rams added Johnson and Robinson.

Additionally, the Rams got two more draft picks under contract: Nick Hampton and Warren McClendon Jr. That brings their total to eight signed rookies, leaving six more still to be signed to their first contracts.

With more than $10 million in cap space, the Rams could make a few more moves before training camp begins to fill out their roster and potentially add some juice to the defense. But for now, they’re looking like one of the youngest and least experienced teams in the league.
