The LA Rams are not out of the free agency news just yet it seems. Late signed outside linebacker/defensive end Derek Rivers is the latest and last of the LA Rams edge rushers to agree to terms to play in 2021. If you recall, Rivers was added late in the 2020 NFL season as a stopgap player to bolster the Rams outside linebacker depth in the face of injuries.
Rivers did appear in five games for the Rams, two on the defensive side of the ball. He saw limited action, 29 defensive snaps, and 75 special teams’ snaps in 2020.
