Rams sign John Wolford, Jachai Polite and 7 others to futures contracts

The 2019 season ended just two weeks ago, but the Los Angeles Rams have already begun managing their 90-man roster for the 2020 campaign. On Thursday, the team announced it has signed nine players to reserve/futures contracts, all of whom were on the practice squad to end the season.

Here are the nine players who will be added to the 90-man roster for the spring workouts and training program.

  • DB Adonis Alexander
  • DL Marquise Copeland
  • WR Greg Dortch
  • OLB Jeff Holland
  • OG Jeremiah Kolone
  • OLB Jachai Polite
  • C Nate Trewyn
  • TE Ethan Wolf
  • QB John Wolford

John Kelly spent most of the year on the practice squad, but he was elevated to the 53-man roster for the season finale against the Cardinals. Therefore, he was not eligible for a futures contract. Only players who ended the season not on a 53-man roster are eligible.

Polite and Wolford are probably the most recognizable names on the list, along with former compensatory draft pick Adonis Alexander. Wolford could compete for the No. 2 quarterback job next season with Blake Bortles becoming a free agent, while Polite may have an opening at outside linebacker if the Rams make changes there, too.
