Rams Pass on A.J. Brown, Stick with Davante Adams

On March 17th, the Los Angeles Rams recently checked into trading for Philadelphia Eagles

wide receiver AJ.

Brown but ultimately decided to stick with their current star, Devonte Adams.

After backing out of the Brown talks last week, rumors surfaced that they might move

Adams to make room, but insiders say that was never as serious.

Plan, according to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, the Rams saw Brown as a potential fit,

but realized Adams aligns better with their offense right now.

They weigh the options amid tight salary cap space, especially with upcoming extensions

for young standout Puka Nakua.

Team officials praised Adams' strong performance last season and show no rush to part ways.

Fowler noted it was more about crunching numbers on contracts, ages, and future costs than

any dissatisfaction with Adams.

Adams carries a $28 million cap hit this year.

The team's second highest behind quarterback Matthew Stafford, a recent $6 million bonus

guarantee, adds dead money if traded, making it costlier for the Rams, but appealing to

buyers who dodged that hit.

In the end, the Rams view Adams as a key piece and plan to build around him, closing the

door on any near-term trade chatter.
