I'm a Bobby Trees fan too! But, how can we justify putting that much money into one position? Also, there will be much fewer throws to go around. I think both the Vikes AND the Lions would love to trade for him because he has excelled in the Vikes new system (ours) and with Jared Goff.
I see Robinson being great on back shoulder stuff, much like OBJ is. I think Tutu and Woods could both get traded this year. We also get Higby back from injury too. I'd be fine with a Woods trade for Hunter

Because it's a QB driven league. The more weapons Stafford has, the more points we're going to score. And, in 2 of the last 4 years we lost one of our top receivers to injury for half a season. 3 if you count Cooks getting concussed in 2019 (42 receptions in 14 games). Hell we were "lucky" to land OBJ this year. Helped down the stretch and in the postseason. Can you imagine if we had to roll with just Kupp, Jefferson and Skowronek? Doubtful we win it all in that case. That being said, who knows what they're thinking? We're only paying 3 mil total to our top 2 RBs. Outside of Higbee (8 mil) we're paying the rest of our TEs 1.95 mil. There's plenty of money for WRs.

I'm flattered!

Oh, you meant Allen Robinson.

Never mind.

So, you saw what I did there?? Well done counselor!!

[Rams1PlateSince1976]

Need to keep him. Lose him and then what happens if Kupp gets hurt. We got a little shorthanded in receivers in Super Bowl 5.

Also, a military axiom is "Reinforce Success!"

Something has to give. Can’t play/pay all of them.

Wasn’t Woods complaining of not getting touches last season?

[Hacksaw]

I was devastated when he went down and will be again if he's traded. OBJ helps make me forget though.

They can restructured his contract if they want to keep him,

But if there is a deal to trade for a edge rusher,

It wouldn't surprise me if he got traded if the right offer was made to better the team.

[Horny Mcbae]

As much as we all love Woods I think the sensible thing to do (now that we’ve signed Robinson) is to trade him for help in areas we desperately need. Now that McVay has his assistants coaching many teams in the league I’m sure he can find a good deal for us.

I think the wording of the info that the rams gave shefter to tweet out says a lot. They wanted shefter to report that we still have money for OBJ. It shows they want OBJ badly and I think he will sign with us on a discount. He’s a very emotional guy and he said LA felt like home. So assuming we will have OBJ signed and if you’re just looking at it dispassionately the most expendable WR would be woods as he would still get us something decent in return if one of the coaches who have left us will vouch for him. I wish Van Jefferson had more value and that would make the decision easy, having Jefferson and OBJ seems kinda redundant and Woods brings a different element of WR play to the field but Van Jefferson doesn’t so it’ll have to be Woods.

He has phenomenal for us and won the chip too so don’t think he’ll be salty but even if he is, oh well.

I’m good leaving this up to mcvay on how he wants the WR room to look. I do think Van and Skron weaknesses were exposed in SB. That may play into their decisions.

[AvengerRam]

To me, given that the Rams are in “win now” mode, I think the entire decision comes down to trade value.

There are two aspects to this concept. First, what would the Rams receive in return? If it’s a pick in the third round or better, that could provide immediate value. So could a trade for a player.

The second aspect is the indirect impact. Would moving Woods free enough money to add a player in a spot where the Rams are weaker than they are at WR?

In my mind, keeping Woods may ultimately be the best option, both from a sentimental and a value standpoint.

Now ask me about Van Jefferson…
