Though it would have only cost them about $3 million for each player, the Los Angeles Rams are not going to give the restricted free agent tender to three players who had over 2,000 combined defensive snaps for them in 2023. Per reports on Thursday, the Rams will let edge rusher Michael Hoecht, defensive end Jonah Williams, and linebacker Christian Rozeboom test free agency should they not be given new contracts before the start of the legal tampering period on Monday.
L.A. could have given them the original round tender and guaranteed $3 million for any of them, but apparently the Rams are not that worried about losing Hoecht, Williams, or Rozeboom in free agency.
