Nothing is safe when it comes to earning a spot on the 53-man roster in the NFL and unfortunately for Akeem Ayers, the linebacker turned out to be one of the biggest surprise cuts by the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.
All teams were forced to have their rosters slimmed down to 53 players by late Saturday and it’s safe to say the team’s decision to terminate the contract of Ayers was certainly a surprising one. Ayers originally joined Los Angeles prior to the 2015 season on a two-year deal following stints with the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots, but it looks like the former UCLA standout will be searching for a new team to play with in 2016.
