The Los Angeles Rams signed safety Alex Cook and offensive lineman Bill Murray on Monday, adding two new players to their training camp roster.
Cook began his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He went on to spend parts of two seasons there before having brief stints with the New York Giants and Chicago Bears. Cook most recently played with the Birmingham Stallions of the United Football League in 2025.
The 27-year-old already has some familiarity with the Rams as he shared the field with Puka Nacua and Trent McDuffie during their time at the University of Washington.
Murray signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of William & Mary in 2020, ultimately playing four seasons there. He came into the league as a defensive tackle, but has since switched to guard.

Murray also saw time with the Bears from 2023-24 before spending the past season on the Patriots’ and Indianapolis Colts’ practice squads.
The signings of Cook and Murray come after guard Justin Dedich was placed on the non-football injury list and cornerback Al’Zillion Hamilton went on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
The Rams’ training camp roster now stands at 85 players, which remains under the 90-player limit.
Davante Adams understands Rams trade rumors
Davante Adams was the subject of trade rumors during the offseason when the Rams flirted with the idea of adding A.J. Brown prior to his trade to the Patriots.
Adams understands the nature of the business, so he doesn’t have any ill will toward the Rams for considering a potential deal and is happy to still be with the team.
“I’m a teenager in this league now, so, I mean, you got to understand there’s certain things that each team, you know, does or has to do in order to — just from top to bottom — it’s just the way that this business goes,” Adams said during training camp.
“You gotta evaluate, you gotta look at certain things and ultimately I’m still a Ram and I’m here and happy to be here. That’s all that matters right now. I know my teammates are excited to have him here and just worried about going out and having a good training camp and seeing where the year goes.”
