Listed below are the Sunday roster moves for the four NFC West teams. Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline yesterday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters, claiming players off waivers or signing guys who clear waivers. Those transactions for the Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks and 49ers are noted below.

Additionally, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads today. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.

Rams Sign Entire Draft Class

June 9th, 2018 at 12:34pm CST by Ben Levine

As they seemingly do every year, the Rams have officially signed all of their draft picks on one day. Kristen Lago of TheRams.com reports that the organization inked all 11 rookies to their contracts yesterday. The list of players includes:

3-89: Joseph Noteboom, OT (TCU)
4-111: Brian Allen, C (Michigan St.)
4-135: John Franklin-Myers, DE (S.F. Austin)
5-147: Micah Kiser, ILB (Virginia)
5-160: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB/DE (Oklahoma)
6-176: John Kelly, RB (Tennessee)
6-192: Jamil Demby, OT (Maine)
6-195: Sebastian Joseph, DT (Rutgers)
6-205: Trevon Young, DE (Louisville)
7-231: Travin Howard, OLB (TCU)
7-244: Justin Lawler, DE (SMU)

The Rams didn’t have picks in the first two rounds due to trades for wideouts. They were without a first-rounder due to the Brandin Cooks trade with the Patriots, and their second-rounder was used in the Sammy Watkins deal.

The trio of rookie linemen (Noteboom, Allen, and Demby) could end up seeing some playing time should anything happen to the Rams’ starters. The three players are ultimately competing with Cornelius Lucas, Austin Blythe, Aaron Neary, and Jake Eldrenkamp for backup reps.

Okoronkwo could see some time at outside linebacker if projected starters Matt Longacre or Samson Ebukam need to be replaced. The Oklahoma product is competing with Ejuan Price and Trevon Young for playing time.
