Rams' door might be open to land an explosive weapon for Matthew Stafford

The Los Angeles Rams are fortunate to have two elite wide receivers, Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, as two of their three starters. The third starter, as of now, however, is most likely the lesser-known Jordan Whittington, a former sixth-round pick who had just 171 yards receiving a season ago.

With that in mind, it makes sense that L.A. could be looking to upgrade that WR3 spot. Could Brian Thomas Jr. potentially be someone who could fill that spot? According to ESPN NFL analyst Dan Graziano, Thomas could be on the move before training camp. While he didn't link the Rams directly, they could make perfect sense as a landing spot for the Jaguars star.

"Teams are still calling the (JacksonvilleJaguars about Brian Thomas Jr," Graziano said on Unsportsmanlike. "So far they've said no. But that's certainly a guy to watch."

Brian Thomas Jr. would be a massive addition to Rams offense

Now, again, the Rams have not been directly linked to a Thomas trade. Still, with the smoldering NFL rumors, he's getting buzz from other teams. So, why not imagine a world where this could happen? Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford would love to have Adams, Nacua, and Thomas at his disposal. Furthermore, it truly feels like the Rams offense would be unstoppable if they fielded this trio of wide receivers.

Thomas is a former first-round pick out of LSU by the Jaguars in 2024. He exploded onto the scene as a rookie, tallying nearly 1,300 receiving yards and finding the end zone 10 times. His sophomore season wasn't as special, as he had over 700 yards receiving and scored two touchdowns but he missed three games.

Thomas was rumored to be on the trade block last season but the Jaguars held onto him and appear to be determined to do so again now. If there's a chance he could be traded, Los Angeles bringing him into this offense to catch passes from Stafford would unlock an absolute cheat code. After the success of adding Davonte Adams, why not?

The Rams don't have many weaknesses on their roster, and adding someone like Thomas would only make them stronger. Hopefully, the Jaguars change their minds about shipping him off, and if he is available, the Rams should absolutely throw their hat into the ring. It could be the difference between winning the Super Bowl and watching the game from home yet again.
