Los Angeles Rams: Cheap trade targets that are extremely valuable
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams made several trades last offseason. Here are three cheap targets for the Rams in 2019 that would be valuable to the team.
The Los Angeles Rams made huge steps in the 2017-2018 season in Sean McVay’s first season as head coach. McVay got the most out of Jared Goff and coached a fun offense to watch that made the postseason for the first time in over a decade.
The Rams’ inexperience ultimately showed as the Atlanta Falcons defeated the third-seeded Rams on Wild Card Weekend. With that experience under their belts, the Rams went back to the drawing board, which included the front office.
The front office knew where this team was good and where it needed help and had the busiest offseason of any NFL team last year. The team traded for three Pro Bowl-caliber players in Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Brandin Cooks; also signing former All-Pro defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh.
While not all of these additions were as good as the team hoped, it still led to the Rams winning the NFC and squaring off against the New England Patriots. Like the year before, the team’s inexperience cost them, this time coming on the biggest game of the year.
With some notable names entering free agency the Los Angeles Rams front office might be looking to repeat the feat and trade for external help.
It might not be as prominent last year but the front office can add some valuable pieces for a relatively low trade price. Here are those pieces.
