We don't have much draft capital to use. But if we can afford him, yeah, I'd go after him in a heartbeat. He's still fairly young. Would be an amazing guy to pair with Puka.
Gonna be too expensive, draft capital-wise, imo.
And then you won't be able to keep him $$.
Gotta find a lower priced guy.. that's why Thomas Jr. keeps coming up.. a 5th should get that done.
I think Brian Thomas Jr. will have a higher price tag than a fifth.
9 receptions in 6 games.
I wouldn't pay more than a 5th.. and even that may be generous.
With him, you're betting on new scenery.
Might be better off with lower-ceiling vets.. but I really want someone with actual juice. Thomas has that.
I want to see out 6th round pic get some balls thrown his way.
Marvin Harrison Jr. went for a 2nd round pick with less production. It's not about what you'd pay. It's about what the Jaguars would accept and what other teams are willing to pay.
The problem is Seattle and SF are likely targeting some of these guys too. Teams are gonna try and jack the price up because the whole NFC West wants one of their guys.
I am not sure how practical or realistic it is for a significant move to add another WR ... limited draft capital, WR availability and difficulty for a mid-season addition to quickly fit-in are all relevant factors, IMO.
However, I hope there is an opportunity to make a minor addition.
Without Adams, the Rams have very little at WR after Nacua.
Whittington and Atwell are simply non-factors ... neither had even a single Target yesterday; and Mumpfield had just two ... one was a bobble that he was fortunate to hold on-to, and the other was a throw-away.
Ferguson seemed like such a huge part of the 2026 passing game strategy.
A trio of Nacua, Adams and Ferguson, with plenty of three TE sets featuring two of Parkinson, Higbee and Allen would have been formidable ... BUT ... without just one-of-the Top-3, that same grouping was compromised.
Now, with two-of-the Top-3 out, it's Extremely Compromised.
The Rams will not run-the-ball for anywhere close to 200 yards (199 yesterday) against many teams because most run defenses are much stronger than the Raiders.
There's little down-the-field, big-play-potential among the current group of receivers. The Offense must be disciplined with long drives ... like yesterday ... BUT that's more difficult to sustain against strong defenses.

Slow Monday ... just spent fifteen minutes looking at the depth charts of teams having disappointing years.
A coupl options that might fit the parameters of ... could help and be a fit, veteran who could quickly adjust, low cap-hit and could be available for a late round drfat choice or a pick-swap.

Xavier Hutchinson

I know it's frustrating but I bet In practice if you could be in the middle of watching practice and listening to some very interesting conversations from the coaches all the way up to McVay about who can and can't play and why, we might understand better when they are not used because they are more a liability than an asset.
Agreed.
I don't think anyone's willing to pay that for Thomas and think Hou probably overpaid.
The Texans seem like an interesting squad. After Nico Collins and Marvin Harrison, they have a lot of WRs who have flashed ability. Tank Dell is finally back after a long recovery from injury. He's a speedster. Jaylin Noel has been flashing this year, but now has a week to week injury (it appears). Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte have both flashed in the past. I might put in a call to Houston and seem what they're thinking. I'd love Jaylin Noel, but I imagine they won't be too keen on trading him.
They may not get a second, but Thomas is still a guy who was a first round pick in 2024 and put up 1282 yards and 10 TDs as a rookie two years ago. He's 6'3" and has 4.33 speed. I bet they'll get a Day 2 compensation for him.
IMO - what’s up with Ferguson 1st of ALL ??
I haven’t really heard much about his rehab ?? There’s SO many injuries & concerns with Puka being questionable before the raiders game Adams out for 10 weeks,Garrett,Landman,Turner,Puna
McDuffie. The list kept coming,plus Alaric Jackson appealing his suspension for 1 game less.
T. FERGUSON has almost been the FORGOTTEN 1
With an extra year on his contract as well ?? His COST on Salary Cap is what the concern would be ??
I look at Cleveland right now,especially before Rams-Raiders & thinking about Jared Verse ?? Myles Garrett hasn’t even played yet & all those Draft Pick The Rams gave up to get him.
—Well The Season is still alive & AD99 keeps looking better all the Time !! Still an exciting time to be a Rams Fan.
IMO T.Ferguson is KEY right NOW. D.Adams might be back for a playoff run. The Rams offense didn’t look BAD this week & the WR held there OWN ??
Puka & Parkisan are still keys to stay healthy,before making a trade.
You might be right, but I just think he's had such a big drop that there are some potential red flags there.
Either way.. yesterday's game simply confirmed that they must make a trade to upgrade the position. They had no downfield plays.. that is not a recipe for success at all, imo.
I'm sure you already know, but if not, he's eligible to come off the IR next week, but not expected to be ready, with that ankle injury he's been dealing with.
