USAT: Rams Wire

- - - While everyone’s March Madness brackets were getting busted, the Los Angeles Rams put everyone in a state of surprise when they agreed to terms with Allen Robinson on a three-year deal. The addition of Robinson gives the Rams a dynamic wide receiver room that could feature Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Van Jefferson. - However, following the move to sign Robinson, it was revealed that Woods has been generating trade interest from teams around the NFL. John Franklin-Myers, who was drafted by the Rams in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft (and is now on the New York Jets), took to Twitter to recruit Woods to the Jets. - - @robertwoods I miss you, NY is a beautiful place FYI - — John Franklin-Myers (@J_FranklinMyers) March 18, 2022 - - - It remains to be seen if the Rams are even interested in the idea of trading Woods, but Les Snead has always shown a willingness to listen to what other teams have to offer. Woods is set to turn 30 years old next month and is coming off a torn ACL, so Los Angeles could view Robinson as the better long-term investment at this point. - The Rams are also refusing to rule out the possibility of re-signing Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason, which would make a trade involving Woods more likely. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where Kupp, Woods, Robinson, Jefferson, and Beckham are all on the roster to begin the 2022 season. - Meanwhile, the Jets are amid a rebuild and they are trying to put Zach Wilson in the best position to succeed. Getting a wide receiver — and leader — like Woods would be a welcomed addition for a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2010. - Even though Woods doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract, the Rams could give him the chance to deliver a list of desired teams if they elect to move forward on trading him. Despite Franklin-Myers’ desperate attempt to recruit Woods, it’s tough to believe that Woods would want to go to a team that isn’t ready to compete for a Super Bowl. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Rams Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Rams Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
