Ika is a big human being in the middle of the defensive line, which the Rams could use. He’s 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds, making him a perfect 3-4 nose tackle. The Rams are going to lean on both Bobby Brown III and Tyler Davis this season, but Ika could be a decent reserve option in case of injury.

Hergel played relatively well in the preseason for the Saints, only allowing only one pressure in the three games he played. His run-blocking grade of 60.8 left room for improvement but as an undrafted rookie, he stood out in a positive way.

Brown was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday after he caught 33 passes for 567 yards with the Texans last year. He’s a proven veteran who had success with the Cowboys and Houston, so he should catch on quickly with another team. He’s the type of do-it-all receiver that could interest Sean McVay and the Rams.

Ball was a standout player this preseason, playing left tackle, left guard and right guard – and playing all of them well. He allowed just two total pressures, none at left tackle, and earned an overall grade of 79.2 from Pro Football Focus. The Rams are thin at tackle and could potentially get some value out of Ball as a backup.

Nwangwu is a speedy running back who excels as a return specialist, which could increase his value with the new kickoff rule. He’s a decent change-of-pace back and if the Rams go with just three players in their backfield, Nwangwu wouldn’t be a bad option as the fourth guy and potential kick returner.

Jean-Charles previously played for the Packers before joining the Saints this summer, and he put together his best preseason as a pro. In three games, he allowed just four catches on eight targets, recording one pass breakup and a coverage grade of 83.5. He can play in the slot or outside, which only helps his value and potential fit in the Rams secondary.

Farley has not panned out, to say the least. The 2021 first-rounder was cut by the Titans after just two seasons, but he might be worth taking a chance on for a team like the Rams, who don’t have much proven talent at cornerback. At 6-foot-2 and about 200 pounds, he has the size to play on the outside in Los Angeles’ scheme. Expectations should be low for Farley, of course, but he’s a physical corner with some talent.

The caveat here is that the Rams should not put in a waiver claim for him because that would come with a $2.5 million salary. Instead, they should hope he clears waivers and either sign him to the practice squad or to a cheaper deal.

Lawson was available for most of the summer and the Rams didn’t bite so they probably won’t take a chance on him now, especially if they feel good about their group of pass rushers. He only played 13 snaps in the preseason for Dallas but he was a productive player for the Jets the last time he was fully healthy in 2022 – and even better in 2021 when he had 64 total pressures.

Marshall was a second-round pick in 2021 but he couldn’t carve out a role for himself in Carolina despite the Panthers’ lack of overall talent at wide receiver. He has the size to be an X-receiver for another team. The Rams don’t have an immediate need at wide receiver with their top three starters set, but Marshall could be someone to stash and hopefully develop.

The Rams can’t be thrilled with their backup quarterback situation after watching Stetson Bennett throw five picks in two preseason games. Jimmy Garoppolo will replace Bennett as the No. 2 quarterback when he returns in Week 3 but that shouldn’t stop the Rams from kicking the tires on Ridder – a mobile quarterback who showed some signs of potential last season.

At the very least, they can keep him on the roster for the first two weeks before trying to stash him on the practice squad when Garoppolo returns.

Henry’s strong preseason performance wasn’t enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster, but it may have caught another team’s eye. His 10 total pressures ranked fourth among all players this preseason, showing just how frequently he was able to get to the quarterback. At 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds, he’s a player who could fit nicely as an edge rusher or defensive end for the Rams.

The Rams are set at running back with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, but given the physical nature of the position, it can’t hurt to have more depth at running back. Haskins provides special teams value and can be the fourth-string running back behind the top three, making him a potential target for the Rams on the waiver wire.

Patrick was a candidate to be traded before being cut on Tuesday but apparently the Broncos couldn’t find a partner. Patrick is a talented receiver who’s been bitten by the injury bug hard in recent years, missing the last two seasons with ACL and Achilles injuries. While not the youngest receiver at the age of 30, Patrick still has the talent to be a fourth or fifth receiver in the league.
