The Falcons are bolstering their receiving corps in acquiring 2020 second-round pick Van Jefferson from the Rams.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the teams were still completing the deal.
Jefferson is a 2020 second-round pick who played a steady role on the Rams' offense when healthy for his first three NFL seasons. He started every game in Los Angeles' 2021-22 championship season, setting career highs with 50 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns before catching four passes in the Super Bowl.
But the Florida product has fallen out of the receiver rotation this year. He had been supplanted by record-setting rookieJefferson had 101 catches with the Rams for 1,499 yards over four seasons. Although he missed a chunk of last season because of an injury, he also had perhaps the most memorable play of his career when he caught a last-minute touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield in Los Angeles' shocking comeback victory over Las Vegas last December.
Jefferson is the second 2020 second-round pick to be traded by the Rams already this season. Los Angeles shipped running back Cam Akers to Minnesota last month after he clashed with the coaching staff again.
