The Los Angeles Rams are taking a chance on a high-upside player who didn’t live up to early expectations in his first stop with the Washington Commanders.
Los Angeles announced Monday it claimed defensive back Emmanuel Forbes Jr. off waivers.
Washington selected Forbes with the No. 16 overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft, but ESPN’s Sarah Barshop noted the NFC East team cut him Saturday. Barshop also pointed out this may not be just a short-term pickup for the Rams, as the Mississippi State product is under contract through 2026 with a fifth-year option for 2027.
