3. Tyler Higbee

If there were one current member of the Rams with the best chance of being traded at some point over the next couple of months, Tyler Higbee would most likely see his name on top of the list.

As bad as it sounds, Los Angeles earned a steal with Higbee during the draft back in 2016 when the tight end slipped to the fourth round due to some issues off the field since he was originally projected to go in the second round.

Since joining the Rams, Higbee has been one of those players who randomly breaks out with a strong performance, but also isn’t always needed as much on offense when looking at the rest of the weapons Jared Goff has to work with.

With that being said, this also means that Higbee is arguably the perfect candidate to be traded since Los Angeles seems confident enough in Gerald Everett and Johnny Mundt taking on larger roles if needed in 2019.

Higbee’s pass-catching skills may not always be consistent for the Rams on offense, but also this doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of doing so if given the opportunity, which some teams will most likely take into consideration if the tight end does become available in a trade.
