Former Bills WR Robert Woods is returning to LA, to the Rams, per sources. Back in the Coliseum, like at USC.

Yes! He was my boy from the start! Now let's get a speed guy and we're ready to roll.

 

[JackDRams]

That's a pretty damn solid deal if he stays healthy and plays well.

Good pickup since Garcon and Desean or signing elsewhere and Britt is leaving.

I actually love this move. I think Woods is highly underrated and I've seen flashes of really brilliant play. I think this kind of nullifies losing Britt. If we can still somehow land another WR and draft Engram in Rd 2 this offense will be night and day better than what we've been seeing.

....assuming Whitworth really is signing on too.

Wow, this is great!

I'm happy with that - wanted Woods to be drafted by the Rams originally - lets hope he stays healthy - I guess we are now out of the running for any of the bigger named WRs

65 catches for 613 yards and 1 TD.

I don't understand how he is better than Britt. What does he bring to the Rams? What is his role going to be?

 

[JackDRams]

This puts us over the cap though doesn't it? We only had 7 million and he just got 7.8. We must be making cuts or trades that haven't been reported yet.

Not the wideout I wanted, but he's solid and will give Goff an option he can trust. Solid move.

Just seen this too boys. I'm slightly concerned on contract size but guarantees are low.

Please continue to sell him on me. Haven't followed him too much. Thanks

Has he had injury issues?

Best blocking WR in free agency

Goff be like

 

[12intheBox]

Not a bad pickup at all. Cost a bit more than I would have liked, but he can play.

 

[bluecoconuts]

I like this too, good work so far. I wonder if McVay helps with this or if it's something Snead could have done regardless.

The potential with Woods is huge. He's got skills that can be exploited. Sharp route running ability.

He's a completely different receiver Elm.

Britt's a big, prototype bodied wideout with the mind of a 5 year old and inconsistent hands and route running tendencies.

Woods is a very good and consistent route runner who provides an option in the passing game a QB can trust.

The Jay Gruden offense is known for precisely-run routes and execution. McVay is going to expect the same. Route runners are going to benefit come camp and Woods is a fit for this offense, Britt isn't.

Has he had injury issues?

He had a groin op during the last offseason, had a foot injury at the start of last season and a knee injury towards the end of the season.
