Robert Woods Traded to Titans

[Ram Ts]

This seems to hurt the idea of trading Woods there. There were rumors that NE was trying to trade for him.

NE would seem a prime trading partner for us with their desire for WR help and our excess. We’ve been trading partners with them a few times over the past 3-4 years. I could see them wanting VJ.

NE makes sense. They are clueless when it comes drafting WRs so get a proven winner instead

Maybe. However, O'Connell may want to use a lot of three-WR-sets like the Rams.

Jefferson is great ... Thielen is still very good ... after that, it's a young group. MN had two good TEs in Irv Smith and Tyler Conklin but Conklin signed with the Jets. Woods knows the offense ... O'Connell knows Woods.

Not suggesting a Woods-Hunter-deal is likely but it's an interesting. The NFL is so much fun!

 

[Allen2McVay]

You guys are getting ahead of yourselves giving this any credibility.

We would never do that.

CAN WE STOP TRADING AWAY MY FAVORITE PLAYERS PLEASE!!!

How did it work-out last time?

 

[Ram65]

I'll throw the Eagles into the mix. The first thing in the car this morning on sports radio was that the Eagles were very interested in Woods. The Rams stole their hopes of signing A-Rob. They really need a Woods-type veteran to partner with DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins. They have a lot of draft capital to spend on Woods. The Rams could use that to help get an Edge rusher. The radio guys seemed to think GM Roseman was very interested.

Also former FB Eagles/Raiders John Ritchie think ARob is going to blow it up with Stafford and the Rams. He was very disappointed the Eagles missed out on signing him.

Their third WR KJ Osborn is good and a lot cheaper than Woods

OK but a team that wants to play 11-personnel a majority of the time needs plenty of WR-depth.

Again, it's not a prediction.

It's just fun speculation for an NFL that is far more inclined to make player-trades than it has ever been in the past (and the Rams' success has much to do with that); and a team/player situation where there is some-fit. Rams just came-up short on a big-time-Edge, and have WR-depth. MN may need to move-on from a talented but expensive Edge, and its new HC is the Rams' former-OC who may want to run a similar offense.

I sometimes also "speculate" on the Boobies and Booty threads but ... truthfully ... that's not speculation but more wild, unrealistic and ridiculous fantasy.

Depth is important but you're not committing to pay a guy a 10-15 mill to be depth.
Minnesota is stacked offensively, if they are going to turn it around they need help on the D side of the ball.

Of course teams are calling about Roberts Woods (and Jefferson, I suspect) after the Robinson signing. It is natural to assume that the Rams could now be ready to part with a big-name WR after the Robinson acquisition. Even many Rams fans suspected as much.

Personally, I do not suspect that the team is looking to move Woods. I look at Robinson as more of: (1) an insurance policy, with Woods (and OBJ, if he returns) coming off an ACL injury at a somewhat older age; (2) a big body, physical, contested catch specialist that should mesh with Stafford and is something the team currently lacks; (3) McVay always wanting more and more weapons, and in particular, at least 3 potent WRs on the field at all times. So I suspect the Rams are not looking to move Woods.

Woods and Robinson are very different WRs. Woods' role in this offence is very unique, and I don't see anyone that can fully replicate it.

But like almost any other player in the NFL, if the right offer is presented, it could make sense to move Woods. There are some exceptions where you pretty much could never move the guy (AD, KUPP, Mahomes). But if teams are calling, maybe it ends up leading to something that was not originally in the plans. We'll see.

FIFY.

Also, agree. Short of a wow offer, I can't see us sending the heart and soul of our offense away.

Bobby Trees is no ham sandwich, I'm tellin' ya!!!

Well, if the Rams are going to trade Woods, it would have to be in the next 24-48 hours because his roster bonus of 3.5 mill hits on the 20th. If the Rams pay the 3.5 bonus, they'd then face another 8.5 mill in dead money. Basically would cost the same to keep him.
Lol on the Vikings stuff too. They already have JJ (3k in yardage in 1st 2 seasons, what??) Thielen (not going anywhere) and 2nd year guy KJ Osborn has been coming on strong (5 TD in last 6 games)
The Green Bay connection could make some sense though, but not if the Rams eat the 3.5

Welp... seen reports that Minny is trying to move Thielen. Seems like a cap move, but I dunno.

EDIT: saw that Thielen redid his contract, so... never mind...

Agree he is not going anywhere,but Merlin likes to play these games.The crazy thing is sometimes that happens.

I think Van Jefferson is the player The Rams need to trade.I don’t think he is that WR to take The Rams to the next level. I thought he should have had a lot better season.

For those who do stats. What were The Rams target vs player completions ?

9 potential trade destinations for Robert Woods

If the Rams do trade Robert Woods, these 9 teams would make sense as potential destinations for the WR

Do not disagree with that. Not at all.

However, is Danielle Hunter going to be part of the Defense that MN needs help? If not, can the Vikings turn him into some value to help their Defense? He seems like a valuable chip that they would want to get some value, beyond cap relief. If I'm a Vikings' fan, and know my team will lose Hunter, I want to move him to a team with cap-space that can give me back a young / inexpensive talent.

But I'm not a Vikings' fan. I am fan of the Super Bowl Champion Rams; and I would like a talented Edge.

They’re already three deep at WR though with Thielen, Jefferson and Osborn. Plus a couple young guys behind them, I don’t know that they need Woods or another WR.

OK. I will stop speculating and hoping for Danielle Hunter. I am sad now. You Happy!!!

 

[Neil039]

The worst part of this possible move, Woods will make the entire offense better. Not just the WR group, but the entire offense from his blocking, sweeps, and knowledge.

I understand the need to keep improving the team. He’s been my favorite Rams since he signed here. Would absolutely love 22 starters with his drive & ability.

Please don’t stop, he would be an incredible addition.

 

[Picked4td]

all the woods trade speculation seems way too premature. gotta sign OBJ first before (if) woods gets traded, imo

 

[Loyal]

Listen to me Les....No trades of Woody to the Packers, Buccaneers, NFC West team, or the friggin Saints. I'm almost to the point of saying not trading Woods at all, unless it's for a transcendent defensive player for MULTIPLE years. No rentals for Robert Woods.

Just for the blocking aspect alone, he's not replaceable at WR.
