Rams exploring trades for WR Van Jefferson, source says

The Los Angeles Rams are looking into trading wide receiver Van Jefferson, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Rams have been in contact with representatives for Jefferson, who is open to finding a new home, according to the source.

Jefferson was a key contributor to the Rams' 2021 Super Bowl run but has struggled to secure a substantial role this season in part because of the emergence of rookie star Puka Nacua and second-year receiver Tutu Atwell.

The 6-foot-1 Jefferson has just eight catches for 108 yards on 15 receiving targets over Los Angeles' first five games.
