The Los Angeles Rams are adding another player to their roster, but it’s not Aaron Donald.
The team announced on Friday that it has signed edge rusher Daniel Rickert, bolstering a position that will need some depth during the preseason.
Rickert is an undrafted rookie out of the University of Virginia. He played five years at Tennessee Tech before transferring to Virginia in 2025, recording 6.5 sacks and eight tackles for a loss in the 14 games he played for the Cavaliers.
After the draft, he received an invite to the Titans’ rookie minicamp but did not sign with the team, leaving him as a free agent.
The Rams like to rest their key players in the preseason so it’s reasonable to think they’ll hold out Myles Garrett, Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart. That’ll leave Keir Thomas, Wesley Bailey, Desjuan Johnson and Tomon Fox as the Rams’ only other edge rushers besides the newcomer Rickert.
