Am I the only one who didn’t get this on my timeline? Is my twittering machine broken? Anyway, this would save the Rams about $3.5 million and should get them back under the cap for Suh’s contract. https://t.co/yV46WC5wQ8

Rams are indeed releasing Kayvon Webster, as first noted by @AdamSchefter. Source indicates there’s a possibility Webster could return later this offseason. Rehabbing Achilles and shoulder injuries.

I probably should phrase that as, the Rams are open to Webster’s possible return. He obviously has a large say in that matter.

Rams Release CB Kayvon Webster
April 6th, 2018 at 1:06pm CST by Zach Links

The Rams released cornerback Kayvon Webster, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). After adding some high-profile corners this offseason, Webster has apparently been displaced from L.A.

The Rams signed Webster to a two-year, $7.75MM deal last offseason, reuniting him with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. Webster was excited for the opportunity to join up for Denver after being buried on the depth chart behind other corners, including Aqib Talib. Ironically, Talib’s arrival in Los Angeles has helped to push Webster out of the picture.

The Rams, who are now loaded with star power befitting their home city, will start Talib and Marcus Peters at cornerback. Nickell Robey-Coleman will man the slot while free agent pickup Sam Shields and holdovers Kevin Peterson and Troy Hill are among those in support.

Webster suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon during the Rams’ December contest against the Eagles. All in all, he started in eleven games as a Ram, but placed in the lower half of Pro Football Focus’ 121 qualified corners.

Webster will attract interest as a free agent, but teams will be taking a close look at his Achilles as well as his surgically-repaired shoulder.
