I woke up this morning, and apparently there are reports (rumors?) that the Los Angeles Rams may have been trying to move Davantae Adams all while maybe potentially trying to add A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles? Is this true? Can we confirm? And if true, do you agree with this course of action for L.A.?
I trust the Rams, so if they want to move on from Adams, so be it, but I do think Adams can still offer value, and I am not sure he is a piece to replace right away in the draft or otherwise.
Then again, maybe Adams peaked with the Rams last year, and it’s time to let him go. I don’t know, but as it stands Adams is still with the Rams, but now I suppose we should stay vigilant for if this changes anytime sooner or later.
Thank you all for checking out Turf Show Times, it’s Monday, let’s try to start the week off strong!
Rams Raise Eyebrows Amid Rumored Blockbuster Trade Interest (heavy.com)
“The Los Angeles Rams have garnered plenty of attention in recent days, first with rumors of their interest in a trade for Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown and then, in moving Davante Adams in a presumably separate deal.
In light of that, the Rams’ decision to send a message on Sunday piqued interest.
Rams general manager Les Snead is certainly in no dire straits to acquire Brown or move on from Adams, the NFL’s receiving touchdown leader in 2025.“
Grading the first wave of free agency for the Los Angeles Rams: The best and worst moves of their start to the offseason (atozsports)
“Snead made his patented splash move, trading for cornerback Trent McDuffie. Not to be stopped there, however, he turned around and signed McDuffie’s teammate in Jaylen Watson to signal in a new era for the Rams’ defense. Those two are instantly the top cornerback tandem the Rams have had in years.
Additionally, Snead brought back Kam Curl, breaking his tradition of not paying safeties. The Rams unleashed Curl in the playoffs as a versatile weapon, and his play was a key reason why they made the NFC Championship Game. The Rams now have proven starters at every position. While I would like for them to continue improving the depth here, this is comfortably their best secondary since their last Super Bowl run.“
Rams made Joe Cardona the highest-paid long snapper in the NFL (theramswire)
“After a disastrous year on special teams in 2025, the Los Angeles Rams dove into that unit headfirst this offseason. They quickly hired Bubba Ventrone as their new special teams coordinator, and then proceeded to add two key players to his group in the first week of free agency: long snapper Joe Cardona and special teams ace Grant Stuard.
Aaron Wilson reported the details of Cardona’s contract and it shows that the Rams made him the highest-paid long snapper in the NFL. It’s officially a two-year contract worth $3.45 million, and it’s fully guaranteed.“
