Assumedly he wants more targets. But at his age and stage of career, I don't think he will find many (any?) teams willing to give him a much bigger role than what he has on the Rams now. Disappointing. Especially as he is a strong deep threat to stretch defences with.

With all the talent we have at WR, egos are going to get bruised when you don't get the targets.

I guess another ring wasn't all that appealing to him ...

Maybe Brandin Cooks could be coming back? Might think he is a better all around player?

Or just clearing space for a high level CB.

Explains why he didn't play much this past week.

I remember on that podcast i posted a while back, he told the interviewers he was excited to seal his legacy in his hometown and the HOF.

It's a little sad that it has worked out this way for him, but nobody is at fault, really, with how well the offense is doing. Maybe this is why McVay was so interested in Tutu's urgency...

He's just a selfish dude, has always been and always will be. It's all about him and he's going to end up on a lesser roster somewhere he can pound his chest that he's the guy while he watches the playoffs on TV.

The guy was complaining right out the gate this season about touches. This team is better off without all that. I fuckin detest diva receivers.

What the fuck? This is weird... like he had to know he was a part time player this year? I don't get it. Unless, like said, the Rams have a move they want to make that's driving this. Weird ass timing. Well, time for Tutu to take McVay's advice to heart and have more urgency because sounds like he'll have a chance to play a few snaps a game suddenly.

TuTu time may be coming after all
Yeah maybe Desean found out someone else is ahead of him on that depth chart or will soon be.

I don't know if it's Tutu though. Tutu hasn't really done anything good to garner more looks. Could just as easily be Harris (WR and TE compete for that playing time 11 / 12 sets). That's my hope at least.

Selfish on his part. Seems like we were the only team to want him. And now he wants gone.

Owell, more cap space.

I get it he wants more PT but if he gets more PT he's going to get hurt. Trade his ass to the Lions or Texans.

Some potential trade destinations I'd have in mind for this fantastic team player:

Yeah, might just mean Tutu time and maybe Harris or Skowonrek could get a few snaps if needed.

Desean is at the point in his career where if he plays the number of snaps he wants to play, he’s not gonna finish the season healthy. His ideal scenario would be staying parked in the garage until Thanksgiving, and then slowly ramp up until playoffs. Seems like he wants more burn than that though.
