It's no secret that the Atlanta Falcons need a wide receiver, and it's also no secret that the Rams had one too many.

The Rams' plans of 'running it back' in 2022 have taken a pair of significant hits in recent days, with the retirement of offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth and the loss of edge rusher Von Miller in free agency, among other outgoing roster transactions.

However, the Rams have also made a significant move to improve the roster as well, signing former Bears and Jaguars wideout Allen Robinson to a 3-year $46.5 million deal.

And now, that signing meant the exit of another prominent Rams wideout, Robert Woods, who emerged as a 'prime trade candidate' across the league.

Woods, who missed eight games last season with an injury, has been a key part of the Rams offense for the last five seasons and was off to a great start with QB Matthew Stafford in 2021.

In his nine games last season with Stafford, Woods had 45 catches on 69 targets for 556 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 12.4 yards per reception and 8.1 yards per target. He also had eight rushes for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Considering his versatility and talent, its no wonder that he would emerge as a target across the league. With the Falcons in need of adding playmakers to the receiving corps, they will now have to move towards their backup options.
