The Los Angeles Rams have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this year, and one reason why they've struggled so far is injuries. Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald and Puka Nacua have all missed multiple games due to injury, and now, you can add Davante Adams to that list. The veteran receiver is expected to miss six to 10 weeks after rupturing his hamstring in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals.
Under the best-case scenario, Adams isn't expected to be back until December, which means the Rams now have a gaping hole at receiver. According to ESPN, the Rams are planning to "at least explore the possibility of trading" for a receiver. If we know one thing about Rams general manager Les Snead, it's that he loves to wheel and deal.
He's proven throughout his career that he's not shy when it comes to pulling the trigger on a big trade, so it's very possible we'll see the Rams make some sort of deal before the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline gets here. With that in mind, let's check out five possible trade options for the Rams at receiver. There is no team that loves to make a big trade more than the Rams, and this would be huge.
Going after Pickens would make sense, and that's because the Cowboys actually might be willing to deal him. Pickens is playing on the franchise tag this year, and there's a good chance that he ends up leaving Dallas after the season. If that happens, the Cowboys would get nothing, but if they traded him now, they'd at least get something in return.
At 2-4, it's hard to say if the Cowboys should be buyers or sellers at the deadline, but at this point, it could go either way. They play in a bad division, so it might not make any sense for them to start trading away their best players, but they still have two games before the trade deadline. If they lose both, that could make them more open to making a deal.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already said he might be a seller at the deadline if the right deal comes along. At same time Jerry Jones does not rule out being a seller at the deadline if a blockbuster offer like they got for Micah Parsons last year came along. Pickens' production in Dallas has been underwhelming this year.
