Are you surprised Rams haven’t addressed receiver?
Rams were linked to AJ Brown and others but haven’t brought in a receiver… yet

(Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images) | Getty Images I’ve been consistent for most of the offseason about one major need for the Los Angeles Rams : they must bring in more talent at the receiver position. Free agency has mostly come and gone, at least in terms of players who can make an immediate impact.
The Rams were tied to the Philadelphia Eagles’ AJ Brown before that rumor turned ice cold. LA has also reportedly considered trading away veteran Davante Adams, and his contract now makes that less difficult after a bonus came due. These were the top of the market signings in 2026: Alec Pierce (Colts): 4 years, $114M Wan’dale Robinson (Titans): 4 years, $70M Romeo Doubs (Patriots): 4 years, $68M Rashid Shaheed (Seahawks): 3 years, $51M Mike Evans (49ers): 3 years, $42M Jalen Nailor (Raiders): 3 years, $35M Tyquan Thornton (Chiefs): 2 years, $11M Doubs is making at least $10M less than Adams is this season and probably brings more consistency on a down to down basis.
He’s a player that made a lot of sense for LA if they were going to dip into the free agent pool. Overall it’s fair to conclude that these players were paid hefty amounts compared their historical production, and smart money generally sits on the sidelines. We can also draw potential conclusions about why the Rams sat out of free agency outside of their main signing in corner Jaylen Watson.
Here are some possible explainations: Rams are committed to frequent deployment of 12/13 personnel LA views Terrance Ferguson as a hybrid TE/WR Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield are ready for larger roles in seasons three and two, respectively This is a position better suited for the draft The last point is the one that rings the most true to me, although reality probably takes a piece of them individually to fit the big picture. This is likely Adams’ last season in the NFL. Receivers are expensive.
