Ben Leber and Brady Poppinga are expected to open the season as the Rams' starting outside linebackers. Both are over-30 offseason free agent additions. Leber would replace Chris Chamberlain and Bryan Kehl at weak-side linebacker, with Poppinga overtaking SLB Na'il Diggs. Diggs is 33 with a $1.25 million salary, so it's fair to wonder if losing his starting job to Poppinga would also cost Diggs his roster spot.
