Rambo, a 2013 sixth round draft pick out of Georgia, started 13 games for the Washington Redskins as a rookie but was benched for poor tackling. He was back in the starting lineup in 2014 during Brandon Meriweather's two-game suspension.

He was waived in September after allowing a 76-yard touchdown in Week 1 and a 63-yard touchdown in Week 2. Rambo has played in 45 career games with 33 starts.

No thank you, we have enough poor tackling already...

I thought Rambo would be good.

What baggage did Pierre Warren have that we didn't want to keep him?!?

He had some great moments during the PreSeason...

Really thought Rambo was a stud in college. He was just in the wake of some great talent in front of him at UGA it seems now. Tackling can be cleaned up, but a safety that can't tackle is really bad.

Really weird to see we've brought in 2 more fullback-types. Lorig has looked like some hot garbage since he's been in there...missed blocks, terrible pass protection which led to a Brees fumble, fumbled a ball against GB. There is an obvious drop-off with Austin Johnson out of there.

futures contracts (or whatever they are called) on the horizon
same thing last year

I too thought Rambo could be a good NFL player.

Don't get down on Lorig yet. Even Vaccaro took 4 games to shake the rust and he had an entire training camp.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Not much left on the streets this late in the season.

I would have kept him over Ball for sure.

Brandon Taylor LSU

Chargers waived S Brandon Taylor.
The 73rd pick in the 2012 draft, Taylor tore his right ACL in December 2012. He was activated from PUP last August, but was a "healthy" scratch for all 18 Chargers games, including playoffs. Beat writers noticed diminished explosion at OTAs. Likely damaged goods, we wouldn't expect Taylor to earn a look on waivers, but his draft pedigree could net him a minimum deal before camp
