THOUSAND OAKS, California – The Rams have tendered exclusive rights free agents Michael Hoecht, Shaun Jolly and Christian Rozeboom.
Hoecht, 25, began the year with the defensive line before transitioning to outside linebacker as Los Angeles dealt with attrition due to departures there. Hoecht made his debut at edge in Week 12, and from that point on, he generated 23 of his 24 pressures, according to TruMedia. All told, his 24 pressures were third-most on the Rams' defense, behind Leonard Floyd's 54 and Aaron Donald's 40.
Jolly, 24, was signed by the Rams off the Browns' practice squad in late September 2022. The cornerback appeared in two games but did not record any stats.
Rozeboom, a 26-year-old linebacker, played in all 17 games last season, making eight total tackles.
An exclusive rights free agent is any player with less than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.
