Travin Howard didn’t remain a free agent for very long after being cut by the Los Angeles Rams last week. According to Jordan Schultz, the Rams are re-signing the linebacker to a one-year deal.
He was released last week, just before the Rams gave Cooper Kupp his $80 million extension. They made that move because it freed up $2.54 million, which gave them some additional cap space for Kupp.
Howard was originally retained by the Rams on a restricted free-agent tender, which gave him a base salary of $2.54 million, none of which was guaranteed. It’s unclear how much his new contract will be worth, but it’s likely to be in the same range as his RFA tender was.
