Colby Parkinson of the Los Angeles Rams is rumored to be a potential cap casualty, but sources indicate the team is unlikely to cut him. Parkinson had a strong 2025 season, catching eight touchdowns and achieving a 76% catch rate. With the Rams drafting another tight end, concerns about cap space have arisen, but releasing Parkinson to save $7 million appears unlikely given his production and experience. The Rams may look to extend his contract instead, as depth at tight end is limited behind Tyler Higbee. Extensions rather than cuts seem to be the team's priority ahead of the upcoming season.
- •Parkinson caught eight touchdowns in 2025, tying for third among tight ends.
- •He has a $9 million cap hit, with $7 million in savings if released.
- •The Rams drafted a tight end, heightening speculation about Parkinson's future.
- •Head coach Sean McVay is expected to keep multiple tight ends on the roster.
- •Colby Parkinson is considered more valuable than younger players currently on the team.
