Rams Trade Idea: Could Browns Upgrade Tackle With Jedrick Wills Jr.?

One of the areas where the Los Angeles Rams could stand to improve is the offensive line, and the team could look to the trade market to do so.

The Los Angeles Rams could have a hole at their left tackle spot going into next season, and the team could trade for a young offensive lineman to fill that hole.

In a recent article by Bleacher Report, they outline five trades that NFL teams should make to free up cap space. And for the Cleveland Browns, a proposed trade would send young offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

"The Cleveland Browns may have seen enough of left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr., who struggled through an injury-riddled 2023 campaign," Bleacher Report said. "Wills has experienced his ups and downs, but he's shown glimpses of solid play before a rough 2023 term, and teams may be willing to roll the dice on him because of his draft pedigree... the Rams may miss out on top prospects at the position with the No. 19 overall pick. On top of that, the 2024 free-agent tackle class lacks depth. So, this transaction may be worth consideration."

Wills is coming off of a knee injury that he suffered in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, so the Browns might be more likely to trade him if they don't want to risk him not being as effective.

Even though he has had a rough couple of seasons, Wills is still only 24 years old, so he still has more than enough time to improve and show why he was selected with the 10th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Since left tackle Alaric Jackson might be leaving in free agency, the Rams need to figure something out when it comes to the offensive line, and Wills could be an intriguing fit.
