Leave it to the Los Angeles Rams to surprise their fans with a trade out of nowhere right before the team’s first preseason matchup against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend after acquiring Sammy Watkins from the Buffalo Bills on Friday. For a team that has been looking for a big-name receiver for a long time, the Rams have every reason in the world to be excited over the move, that is assuming Watkins can manage to stay healthy.
As part of the deal, Los Angeles sent cornerback E.J. Gaines to Buffalo along with a second-round pick in the deal for Watkins, which is still drawing plenty of shock around the league.
