LA Rams Van Jefferson could be key to Julio Jones trade

Okay, it’s a holiday weekend, and before you even get to punch the timecard, the NFL is at it again. More specifically, LA Rams rumors are at it again. Sure, you don’t want to hear the rumors about any chance of the Atlanta Falcons trading Julio Jones to the LA Rams. But it’s out there, like the stars at night.  If you don’t want to see them, don’t look up at the sky. But that’s not the LA Rams way, is it?

Things are always looking up for the LA Rams.  Over the past four years, the level of success is almost unmatched. The Rams have gone 42-22 over the past four seasons under head coach Sean McVay, and have gone 3-3 in the playoffs. That’s been accomplished without first-round picks, and with limits on the payroll due to dead cap space.

But that success has depended upon the LA Rams taking chances, making trades, making things happen. In the high-risk stakes of winning it all, the team has had to make high-stakes gambles. The LA Rams traded for All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey, traded for veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Now, LA Rams rumors are heating up for a trade with the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. This is the Rams wheelhouse. Trades like this are the bread and butter for the Rams roster strategies.  The Rams have already declared publicly that the objective is to make the Rams offense far more dangerous. That was the first clue to the Rams exploring any and all opportunities.

Right now, Julio Jones is indeed a unique opportunity. He is a proven NFL veteran wide receiver who can change the outcome of a game. Let’s see what it will truly take for the LA Rams to be in the running
