The Los Angeles Rams should consider trading for after the New Orleans Saints claimed they wouldn’t rule out trading Sean Payton.

With Jeff Fisher officially out of the picture as head coach for the Los Angeles Rams following an embarrassing Week 14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the organization got an early start compared to other teams when it comes to their search for their next head coach. There’s a good chance the next head coach for the Rams will be a current coordinator, but a recent report indicated the idea of trading for a head coach, like Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints, shouldn’t be ruled out.

The chances of this may seem highly unlikely, but keep in mind it’s happened before in the NFL, with one of the most popular trades that sticks out being Jon Gruden in 2002 when he was sent from the Oakland Raiders to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coincidentally, Gruden went on to win the Super Bowl the following season as head coach of the Buccaneers.

Obviously, the chances of Los Angeles trading for a head coach from a current team may be a long shot, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to examine the list of possibilities. When looking at all of the current head coaches that some teams would love to get rid of, anything it capable of happening in the offseason, even if the Rams don’t have a first-round pick in 2017 to use as trade bait.

Starting off with Hue Jackson of the Cleveland Browns, here’s a look at five current head coaches the Rams should consider trading for in the offseason.
