The Los Angeles Rams wasted zero time this week, immediately changing their practice squad on Tuesday by signing linebacker Jamie Sheriff, just a day after assembling it. This move comes right after the Seahawks waived Sheriff on Sunday, making him available. Undrafted in 2024, Sheriff has been grinding for years to make an active NFL roster out of camp, and he’s clearly hoping the Rams can finally be his sweet spot.
From Carolina To The Emerald City, And Back To The West Coast Grind
Sheriff’s journey has been a whirlwind. After going undrafted out of South Alabama, he first signed with the Panthers. He didn’t make their team, landed on their practice squad, and even played in one game for Carolina before getting waived. The Seahawks then picked him up, adding him to their practice squad in 2024. He spent most of his first two NFL seasons right here in Seattle, making one tackle for us in 2025. He bounced between outside and inside linebacker, showing some real preseason flashes that made us think he might crack the main roster in 2025 or 2026, but it just hasn’t happened yet.
A New Shot With The Horns
Now, the good athlete Sheriff gets another chance to compete. The Rams’ room just got even tougher with undrafted free agent Wesley Bailey making the 53-man roster as training camp’s biggest surprise. Sheriff will be looking to stand out, even getting to observe Myles Garrett up close. This is a huge opportunity for him. Can he finally get his shot at a full-time spot? We’ll be watching to see if this is where the former Seahawk finally breaks through.
