Los Angeles Rams: Three trades that would flip the offseason on its head
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams were the stars of the last NFL offseason with all of the team’s big moves and could do the same this offseason as well.
The Los Angeles Rams quickly turned around a team that was consistently among the worst in the NFL to the best team in the NFC that was 10 points away from becoming Super Bowl Champions.
A big reason for the quick turnaround was new head coach, Sean McVay. McVay had a big and immediate impact on Jared Goff in his second season and turned an oftentimes struggling Rams offense into one of the most explosive in the league.
After just one solid year the front office was convinced that McVay was the guy for the job and added pieces at an accelerated rate last offseason. The front office added two corners in Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, an All-Pro defensive tackle in Ndamukong Suh and a legitimate number one receiver in Brandin Cooks.
All those pieces helped get the Rams to the Super Bowl but not all will be on the team in the coming years. Cooks is locked down with an extension but Suh can leave in free agency and both Peters are Talib only have one more year on their contracts.
The Rams would be just fine with small additions and adding in the 2019 NFL Draft but after the success of their moves last offseason the team might be hungry to make more big splashes. Here are three pretty big trades that would absolutely flip the offseason on its head.
