JoJo Natson has served as the Los Angeles Rams’ primary return specialist for the last two years, but it seems he’s not in the tam’s plans moving forward. Before he could become a restricted free agent next week, the team waived Natson, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
If Natson goes unclaimed on waivers, it’s possible the Rams could bring him back by signing him as a free agent. However, given this decision, it seems they’re likely moving on from him. They could have retained Natson easily with an RFA tender, but that would have cost them at least $2 million.
Natson returned 19 punts for 149 yards last season, as well as 13 kickoffs for 289 yards. He did not have any fumbles, which was a positive development for the young returner.
