The Los Angeles Rams were at least expected to trade Cam Akers before the Tuesday trade deadline, but Les Snead was unable to complete any deals this year. After trading for Jalen Ramsey at the deadline in 2019 and Von Miller in 2021, the Rams were strongly linked to at least a few big names this year as midseason help for a second half push. That included Christian McCaffrey, who went to the 49ers, Bradley Chubb, who went to the Dolphins, and Brandin Cooks, who went nowhere and is staying with the Texans.
