While he may stay with the team, the Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is named the best trade asset heading into the 2025 regular season. According to a report<\/a>, they believe there\u2019s a chance that the Rams could trade the running back despite having consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons. During the NFL Draft, the team traded back in the first round, which had many fans scratching their heads, but it shows the Rams are not afraid of playing the \u201clong game.\u201d<\/a> With that, this could include Williams, who will garner a lot of draft return if the Rams make him available for a trade.<\/p>\n

If the team endures a losing season this upcoming season, it becomes more ideal for the Rams to trade Williams. They weren\u2019t afraid of releasing long-term fan favorite Cooper Kupp<\/a> despite performing better than most wide receivers the past few seasons. Quarterback Matthew Stafford<\/a> might be coming back, but it doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019ll be the long-term starter for this organization, and since head coach Sean McVay will soon start this team from scratch, this also might mean moving on from Williams. Originally selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the former Notre Dame product feels \u201cgood\u201d about the contract negotiations with the Rams, but it doesn\u2019t guarantee a long-term contract to his liking.<\/p>\n

Many deals don\u2019t turn out like most athletes are expecting, and if that happens, these teams should take advantage to snatch Williams off the Rams.<\/p>\n

\nReport: Rams Pro Bowler Kyren Williams Named \u201cBest\u201d Trade Asset \u2013 Ravens, Chargers Could Be Highest Bidders
\nBacking up Derrick Henry<\/p>\n

The Baltimore Ravens have one of the league\u2019s best offenses, but head coach John Harbaugh should take this team to a whole other level. While Lamar Jackson<\/a> is improving each season, it\u2019s best to get all of the talent to finally push for a Super Bowl, since they\u2019re always an inch closer. Derrick Henry signed a new two-year contract<\/a>, but he\u2019s aging, and the Ravens must probably consider getting another running back to solidify their unit. There\u2019s confidence around Keaton Mitchell for this upcoming season after missing most of the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t live up to expectations, and they\u2019re hoping he can have a huge turnaround, but the chances of that happening are slim. Obviously, Justice Hill<\/a> is the backup for the team, but the Ravens must remember he has a small body and can only be useful in screen situations. Williams is more than capable of getting the team back in the Super Bowl conversations, and since he\u2019s young, he might be the one to take over when Henry eventually retires.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh\u2019s Trenches<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers had one of the worst running back units last season with J.K. Dobbins<\/a> and Gus Edwards. Strangely, they put Dobbins on a tender<\/a>, so they could be bringing him back on a one-year deal at minimum despite his unproductive season. Edwards isn\u2019t returning, and they have two solid starters in Najee Harris and 2025 draft pick Omarion Hampton<\/a>. Harris will most likely start, but since they\u2019ve got Hampton, he may win the job, and Harris will likely join a new team next season.<\/p>\n

With that, Williams should join the Chargers no matter the situation to supplement quarterback Justin Herbert with a powerhouse running game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While he may stay with the team, the Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is named the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[849,5403,292,7,12733,19006,4076,1014,58,4200,2453,2444,2611,4125,6,424,10420],"class_list":{"0":"post-79093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-baltimore-ravens-news","9":"tag-chargers-featured","10":"tag-derrick-henry","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jk-dobbins","13":"tag-justice-hill","14":"tag-kyren-williams","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-los-angeles-rams","17":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","18":"tag-los-angeles-chargers-news","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-losangelesrams","21":"tag-najee-harris","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-rams","24":"tag-ravens-featured"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114571275482530394","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
