The Los Angeles Rams beefed up their roster this Monday, snatching up guard Bill Murray and our very own former Husky, defensive back Alex Cook. It’s an interesting move from the West Coast rivals as they get their early regular season ducks in a row.
Rams Roster Shuffle: Quick Fixes in LA
The Rams were quick to respond after Sunday’s action. They dropped guard Justin Dedich on the non-football injury list and cornerback Al’Zillion Hamilton on PUP. That opened up a couple of spots, and since they were already under the 90-man limit, they didn’t need to make any corresponding moves. Just sign ’em up and keep pushing. It shows they’re focused on depth right out of the gate, especially with a long season ahead of them.
From Montlake to LA: Cook’s Journey Continues
Let’s talk about these new guys. Bill Murray, an undrafted free agent from William & Mary back in 2020, hasn’t exactly lit up the league. He’s only seen action in four games over six years, zero starts, and was last with the Bears in 2024. The Patriots actually moved him from defensive line to offensive line, which kinda explains the low rep count but also shows he’s been developing, you know? But for us, the real headline here is Alex Cook. Our guy, undrafted out of Washington in 2023, is making moves! Cook hit the field for 10 games with the Panthers in 2023, getting two starts, and was most recently with the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL. Seeing a former Husky get another shot in the NFL, even if it’s with the Rams, is always cool to see.
The Rams needed to plug those holes fast, and they did. But let’s be real, will Murray and Cook stick around past the next round of roster moves? That’s the real question as they push through early regular season.
