The Los Angeles Rams were a part of a shocking trade rumor on Sunday.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Los Angeles Rams expressed interest in cutting ties with their 33-year-old star wide receiver.
“Per a league source, the Rams — while talking about a possible trade for (A.J.) Brown — were pursuing the possibility of trading (Davante) Adams,” Florio reported.
“The Rams presumably were hoping to get a deal done by today, when a fully-guaranteed $6 million roster bonus came due. And the payment of the bonus likely means they’ll keep Adams and his $18 million base salary.”
“Regardless, a week with a handful of interesting developments could have had two more: A.J. Brown traded to the Rams, and Davante Adams (the league leader in receiving touchdowns in 2025) traded to what would have been his fifth NFL team.”
Considering Florio’s report was written in the past tense, it’s safe to say the Rams have come to their senses and committed to moving forward with Adams in Los Angeles. Adams, who signed a two-year, $44 million deal with the Rams last March, is coming off an impressive 2025-26 campaign.
While the reliable and attentive 6-foot-1 wideout failed to hit the 1,000-yard receiving mark, he finished first in the NFL in receiving touchdowns (14), extended his non-fumbling streak to five seasons, and played an integral role in helping Los Angeles advance to the NFC Championship game.
\With the Rams tapping out talks with the Eagles on Brown’s behalf, according to a Saturday report from Florio, it’s unlikely the franchise will make a drastic wide receiver move after nearly reaching the Super Bowl.
