Sean McVay admits the Los Angeles Rams got worse this week when they traded veteran receiver Van Jefferson to the Falcons. The coach also said Rams fans shouldn’t expect any major additions this season to counter the steady subtraction of the past several months.
FILE - Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson walks onto the field before an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks, Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023, in Seattle. The Rams have agreed to terms on a trade to send receiver Van Jefferson and a seventh-round pick in 2025 to the Atlanta Falcons for a sixth-round pick in 2025, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.
Jefferson played only two snaps in last Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia, and his chances of returning to the Rams in 2024 appeared small. Los Angeles moved him to a receiver-poor team to give him every opportunity to boost his stock for free agency. “You just pray and you hope that our guys are able to stay healthy, and that you’ve got some depth,” McVay said. “Our receiver room didn’t get better by losing Van Jefferson, that’s for certain. But we got better being able to add Cooper back into the mix, and that meant there was going to be less opportunities for to stay on the field if we are able to stay healthy, and that’s always an ‘if.’ Last year taught us that.
Jefferson’s inability to land a second contract with the Rams is not unusual: Since McVay arrived in 2017, the only skill-position draftee to stay beyond his rookie contract is Kupp, the 30-year-old Super Bowl MVP and one of the most prolific receivers of his generation. Tight end Tyler Higbee, who arrived in 2016, is on his third contract.
