NFL Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Rams looking to clean up putting yet another star for trade
It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams are in rebuild mode. They finished in last place in the NFC West with a 5-12 record last season, one year after winning the Super Bowl.
While the team has been looking to transform their roster, there have been rumors that they could possibly move on from wide receiver Allen Robinson.

Bobby Wagner was released and Jalen Ramsey is on the trade block. Only makes sense that Robinson would be available https://t.co/DZJJUftusu
The team inked Robinson to a big deal last off-season in free agency. On March 17, 2022, they signed him to a three-year $46.5 million deal. Of the $46.5 million, $30.75 million is guaranteed.
He played only 10 games last season for the Los Angeles Rams and recorded 33 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns. Robinson's season was cut-short as he was placed on injured reserve on November 29, 2022.
The team is also looking to move on from All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Tom Pelissero reported that the team has already received multiple offers for him and he’s expected to be traded in the coming weeks.
LA parted ways with All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner on February 23 after a single season with the team. He signed a five-year contract worth $65 million last season as a big ticket signing last season.

How did the Los Angeles Rams go from Super Bowl winners to a rebuilding team?
The Rams were one of the most injury-riddled teams last year.
They suffered multiple injuries from starting players such as quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson, and defensive lineman Aaron Donald, four offensive linemen, and had poor defense all season.
The team gave out many contracts that showed minimal production in 2022-2023. They signed Joe Noteboom, Brian Allen, Coleman Shelton, Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald and Matthew Stafford to new deals and all of them got injured or underperformed.
Heading into 2023, the Rams will be without a first-round draft pick and are currently $14 million over the cap space. They'll have to get rid of more players before the start of the new league year to get under the cap.
