Random Ramsdom: More Cuts Coming For the Rams As They Work Their Way To 53

Happy Saturday morning, St. Louis Rams’ fans!  Today’s an exciting day for a few reasons.  First, football is back...of the college variety.  Pants are optional today.  Additionally, NFL teams have until 4pm ET today to whittle their rosters down to the final 53.  And while it’s tough to watch a slew of players become unemployed, it’s interesting to see how NFL teams finalize their rosters.  We, here at TST, are going to be tracking the Rams’ roster moves throughout the day.  You can follow those cuts right here.

Have a great weekend.  Rams’ football is a mere 8 days away!
