Rams waive cornerback Derion Kendrick; will they trade for Jalen Ramsey?

The Los Angeles Rams have waived cornerback Derion Kendrick, who was sidelined last season due to a torn ACL. Kendrick, a sixth-round pick in 2022, had participated in the team's offseason activities and was set to earn $3.4 million this season. The Rams, considered potential Super Bowl contenders, have not signed or drafted any new cornerbacks, leaving their secondary as a question mark. Veterans Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon are expected to start, while other players like Cobie Durant and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. will also contribute. Coach Sean McVay has not ruled out a trade for Jalen Ramsey but noted financial and logistical challenges. The Rams are navigating these changes in the secondary with an eye on maintaining their competitive edge.
