One surprising cut each NFL team could make for 2020
By Randy Gurzi
Los Angeles Rams: Josh Reynolds, Wide Receiver
After trading away Brandin Cooks, it would seem as though the Los Angeles Rams would have no intention of cutting any other receivers — but that might not be the case. L.A. added Van Jefferson in the draft and they also have Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.
That means Josh Reynolds could end up being fourth on the depth chart and while he would be a great talent for that position, he’s set to make $2.29 million and the team could save $2.1 million of that if they decided to let him go. Being cap-strapped as is, the Rams might decide to move on from Reynolds and bring up some of their younger (more affordable) talent.
Miami Dolphins: Josh Rosen, Quarterback
This past draft, the Miami Dolphins added Tua Tagovailoa out of Alabama with the No. 5 overall pick. There were concerns about his health since he finished his collegiate career with a hip injury and needed to have surgery. The good news for the Dolphins is that he’s apparently been given a clean bill of health — which has led to them shopping Josh Rosen.
It could be hard to move Rosen though since teams know the Dolphins aren’t likely to keep him as the third-string option behind Tua and veteran Ryant Fitzpatrick. That could mean yet another change of teams for the UCLA product.
