After completing the biggest trade of the NFL offseason so far, the Los Angeles Rams are still active in the trade market. They acquired Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a first round pick and more. Now they are inquiring with the Philadelphia Eagles in regards to AJ Brown and reportedly have shopped a receiver of their own in Davante Adams:
Per a league source, the Rams — while talking about a possible trade for Brown — were pursuing the possibility of trading Adams.
The Rams presumably were hoping to get a deal done by today (Sunday), when a fully-guaranteed $6 million roster bonus came due. And the payment of the bonus likely means they’ll keep Adams and his $18 million base salary.
Adams is likely now safe given that the Rams are on the hook for his bonus. The veteran receiver is still a lethal red zone threat, though would be best served as the WR#3 at this stage of his career. His deal would make him one of the best paid third receivers in the NFL. The consensus seems to point towards the Rams leaning towards a pass catcher with the thirteenth selection in next month’s NFL Draft.
