In a series of strategic roster adjustments, the Los Angeles Rams have released several offensive linemen over the past year. Notably, on February 21, 2024, the team parted ways with veteran center Brian Allen. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Allen was a pivotal figure during the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI victory in the 2021 season. Despite signing a three-year, $24 million extension in 2022, his tenure was marred by injuries, limiting his contributions and leading to his release, which cleared $4.9 million in salary cap space for the team.
The Rams’ offensive line saw further changes with the release of guard Logan Bruss on November 11, 2024. A third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Bruss’s career was hindered by a torn ACL and MCL during his rookie preseason, causing him to miss the entire 2022 season. After limited play in 2023 and early 2024, the Rams waived him, and he was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans.
Additionally, in October 2024, the Rams released offensive tackle Geron Christian. Signed in September 2024 to bolster depth following injuries on the offensive line, Christian’s stint with the team was brief, seeing action in only one game on special teams before his release. These roster moves reflect the Rams’ ongoing efforts to manage player performance, health, and salary cap considerations as they strive to maintain a competitive team structure.
