LA-HOU Trade

[tomviolence]

The LA Rams and Houston Texans have reached a trade agreement. 

LA Rams send: 
QB DeShaun Watson (3.5M, 2021, paid by LA this year)
TE Brevin Jordan (.9M, 2024, paid by LA this year)
2022 2nd Round Pick


Houston sends: 
QB Kellen Mond (.8M, 2024, paid by HOU this year)
RB LeVeon Bell (13.2M, 2022, paid in 2021 and 2022 by HOU)
WR Freddie Swain (.5M, 2021, paid by HOU this year)
WR Jalen Camp (.6M, 2023, paid by HOU this year)
2022 HOU 3rd Round Pick


It pains the Rams to do this after trading so much to get Watson in our run last year, but with his status up in the air, and our upcoming cap crunch, there's no way we can justify resigning him and overhauling our roster to make it fit with so much uncertain. So we get back a Bell who suddenly could get big reps in light of Baltimore's injuries at least this year, and a host of young players we like in the hopes that we can then address QB in the future with a better financial backing. This is probably the highest risk trade I've ever made, but again, with our cap situation, we would have to cut too many key guys just to make the room to resign. Since we're not resigning, we'll take a package that keeps us competitive this year without hindering us next. Thanks to Joe and Houston for the talks, and Houston to confirm.

Houston confirms! We are happy to move Le’Veon and a host of prospects to see what happens with D4. The issue here obviously is the contract and with us having a complete overhaul, I’m able to dish out over $20m per season to grab what was an NFL star. Thanks to Rams and good luck!
