ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez is reporting that longtime Los Angeles Rams OL Rodger Saffold is staying put for 2017:

There was some thought that Saffold could be released with just two years remaining on his contract he signed in 2014. Saffold would offer north of $4.3m in cap room this year with just $2m in dead space with $6.5m in available room for 2018 and just $1m in dead space.
