The Los Angeles Rams lost four players to the waiver wire — a league high — and one more player who opted to sign on to another team’s practice squad. Some fans view it for what it is: a depletion of discovered talent that could have remained with the team and contributed to future success. Other fans view it for what it is as well: a sign that the Rams roster is so laden with quality talent that other teams are rummaging through their waived players in the hopes of upgrading their own teams.
It's safe to conclude that the team had every intention of signing all five players to the practice squad.
