Los Angeles Rams: Cheap trade targets that are extremely valuable
By Jason Reed
3. Sean Lee, LB
Another linebacker makes the list and he is a combination of both of the players. Sean Lee obviously plays the same position as Zach Brown and is in a very similar boat to both Brown and Glover Quin.

Lee has battled injuries in the past and the new upcoming linebackers in Dallas has seemingly taken his place. While there still is a spot for Lee on the team, the Dallas Cowboys would be much more inclined to trade him in the final year of his contract and get something out of him while avoiding the cap hit.
A clause in his contract would mean that he would be only a $7 million cap hit on the Los Angeles Rams with the Dallas Cowboys eating the other $3 million.
It is hard to gauge how much Lee is worth. Even as his age, when he is on the field he has an impact on the defense and can be a Pro Bowl linebacker if he stays healthy the entire season.
But that is the huge risk with Lee. Should the Los Angeles Rams bring him in knowing that there is a good chance he could get injured?
I guess it depends on the price because there is still a lot of upside with Lee on the Los Angeles Rams. Like Brown, I would do this deal with a fourth-round pick and would even be willing to go as high as a fifth-round pick in a future draft to go alongside the 2019 fourth-rounder.
The Los Angeles Rams’ title window is right now and the fans should not bat an eye if the team trades some late picks for any of these guys; it would be worth it.
