THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams formally waived troubled running back Tre Mason on Friday, a decision that was long considered inevitable.
Mason, a third-round pick out of Auburn in 2014, never reported to the team last season and spent the entire year in and out of legal trouble. At one point, TMZ published a dash-came video in which a woman who appeared to be Mason's mother blamed CTE for what she had previously described as "unusual behavior" and "irrational statements" from her son.
The Rams spent a large portion of 2016 communicating with Mason's agent, Bus Cook, and were finally able to meet with Mason personally a few weeks ago.
