The Facts: The Rams have released Kendricks.
Diehards Line:Kendricks finished with 50 catches for 499 yards, but the reality is the Rams' tight ends underachieved again be it in the pass game or in blocking. The hope moving forward is Tyler Higbee emerges as a bona fide threat after spending 2016 easing into things and learning the blocking complexities of the NFL. Higbee, and perhaps fellow rookie Temarrick Hemingway, could merge as difference-makers.
