The Los Angeles Rams made a pair of surprising moves on Tuesday afternoon when they cut both Darrell Henderson and Justin Hollins. These moves were rather precarious as Henderson was the team’s leading rusher and Hollins gave the Rams depth at edge rusher opposite of Leonard Floyd.
However, with both players on expiring contracts, there was some logic behind these moves. Neither Henderson not Hollins were going to be a part of the Rams’ future. Move on from them now and get clarity on what the roster needs this offseason.
Sitting at 3-7, it makes some sense to make these moves now to give guys like Kyren Williams, Terrell Lewis, and potentially even Daniel Hardy reps in those spots.
