The Rams continue to overhaul their roster before the start of the league year. According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Rams plan on releasing Leonard Floyd this Friday.
Floyd, a former first-round pick from Georgia, has been on the Rams for the past three years. During the 2022 season, Floyd had 59 total tackles, 22 quarterback hits, nine sacks and a fumble recovery. Floyd had a $22 million cap hit for the 2023 season.
Releasing him will save $15.5 million in cap space if it comes with a post-June 1 designation. The Rams have already released All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner.
Rams are planning to release OLB Leonard Floyd today, per source.

As for Floyd, he should have plenty of suitors this offseason. After all, teams are always looking to improve their pass rush.
