But as they were discussing a potential move for Brown, the Rams simultaneously explored the possibility of trading away one of their own star receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/as-rams-considered-trading-for-a-j-brown-they-explored-trading-davante-adams\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk<\/a>, the Rams \u201cwere pursuing the possibility of trading Adams\u201d at the same time they were talking about a trade for Brown. Ultimately, the Eagles <a href=\"http:\/\/theramswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/rams\/2026\/03\/14\/aj-brown-trade-rams-eagles-rumors\/89152613007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shut down any trade talks<\/a> for Brown at this time, putting those conversations off until closer to June 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">At the same time, the Rams are unlikely to trade Adams right now. As Florio points out, Adams was due a fully guaranteed $6 million roster bonus today, making it more costly to trade him now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Per a league source, the Rams \u2014 while talking about a possible trade for Brown \u2014 were pursuing the possibility of trading Adams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Rams presumably were hoping to get a deal done by today, when a fully-guaranteed $6 million roster bonus came due. And the payment of the bonus likely means they\u2019ll keep Adams and his $18 million base salary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Adams is coming off his first season with the Rams, leading the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions \u2013\u00a0the third time in his career he&#8217;s finished as the league leader in touchdown catches. He has a $28 million cap hit this year, the second-largest on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 15, 2026, 11:30 a.m. PT It\u2019s been reported that the Los Angeles Rams considered a trade for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[95878,7,95922,95923,95882,95946,96331,95896,95888,95897,96177,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-814925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sstssportsnflrams","11":"tag-sstsnrams","12":"tag-tagamerican-football","13":"tag-tagcalifornia-gold-rush","14":"tag-tagdavante-adams","15":"tag-tagnational-sports","16":"tag-tagnfl","17":"tag-tagoverall-negative","18":"tag-tagsmg-breaking-wire","19":"tag-tagsports-news","20":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116237504820900568","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814925","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=814925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
