With the NFL trade deadline approaching at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Rams are actively seeking wide receiver help after injuries to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Adams went down in October, and Nacua is expected to be placed on injured reserve this week with MCL and PCL sprains plus turf toe, sidelining him until at least Week 15. The Rams' remaining receivers — Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington — have combined for just 20 receptions, 273 yards, and one touchdown this season.
Head coach Sean McVay acknowledged a trade is possible. "You look at all avenues to solve the situations that come up. I would never rule it out," McVay said. General manager Les Snead has a history of making significant trades.
George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys
Pickens is playing on the franchise tag worth $27.3 million, and the Cowboys (4-5) might consider moving him rather than losing him for nothing after the season. However, Dallas remains 1.5 games out of first in the NFC East, and owner Jerry Jones said the decision not to play Pickens against the Colts was "100 percent injury related." Jones added he doesn't expect a significant trade. Pickens has 39 catches for 533 yards this season.
Jauan Jennings, Minnesota Vikings
Jennings has just six receptions for 54 yards in eight games, frustrated by limited targets in an offense focused on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. A trade to the 49ers fell through earlier, and Jennings could seek a return to the NFC West. He caught 55 passes for 643 yards and nine touchdowns for San Francisco last season.
Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans
The 1-7 Titans could hold a fire sale. Ridley has six catches for 91 yards in eight games and has no guaranteed money beyond 2026. He took a pay cut to stay in Tennessee but has dealt with injuries, missing 10 games last season and appearing on the injury report with a hip issue in Week 8.
Josh Downs or Keenan Allen, Indianapolis Colts
At 2-7, the Colts may trade veterans. Downs is in the final year of his rookie deal with a $3.9 million base salary (about $1.95 million remaining). Allen, 34, has 40 catches for 351 yards in his first Colts season and has never advanced past the divisional round. Both could fit the Rams' cap constraints.
