The Rams’ wide receiver group was underwhelming in 2022, getting very little production out of anyone not named Cooper Kupp. Allen Robinson was a huge letdown after being signed as a free agent, catching just 33 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games played.
Los Angeles allowed Robinson to seek a trade this offseason and is even willing to eat some of his salary to make a deal happen. Up to this point, there have been no takers.
General manager Les Snead said on Monday at the annual league meeting in Arizona that the team is still shopping Robinson on the trade market. He also added that the Rams remain interested in a reunion with Odell Beckham Jr., something that has been reported before and even confirmed by Sean McVay, too.

“Odell is going to have to determine where he wants his next chapter to be,” Snead said, via the LA Times.
The free-agent wide receiver class is weak this year and has dried up after players such as JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jakobi Meyers and Allen Lazard found new homes. That bodes well for the Rams as they try to find a suitor for Robinson and his $15.25 million salary.
It still could be tough to get a team to take on any of that contract after the year he had, but the Rams can’t afford another 300-yard season at his salary – especially not if it will prevent them from adding an impactful receiver.
