The Los Angeles Rams made the surprise decision on Thursday afternoon to trade wide receiver Ben Skowronek for a swap of late-round draft picks in 2026. While the move opened just over $1M in cap space and also almost guarantees that rookie Jordan Whittington makes the roster, it’s also worth wondering if general manager Les Snead might potentially have something else up his sleeve.
Skowronek may not have been the flashiest receiver, but he was experienced in the offense and was a special teams captain last season. His catch against the Las Vegas Raiders from Baker Mayfield on what would be the game-winning drive certainly won’t be forgotten by many.
