The Tennessee Titans finally found the veteran receiver they desperately needed after acquiring Robert Woods in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams that only cost Tennessee a 2023 sixth-round pick.
The trade has since been made official, and Woods held his introductory press conference on Wednesday, which you can check out here.
Making this trade even better is that Woods won’t cost as much as originally thought.
His $13.5 million cap hit for 2022 has now been lowered to $10 million after the Rams picked up his $3.5 million roster bonus on Tuesday. That number could potentially be lowered even further should he get restructured.
Shortly after the trade was made official, the Titans’ social media team put out this awesome Photoshopped picture of Bobby Trees in uniform, and I have to say it looks damn good on him.

Does that number ring a bell? Of course it does; that was the number Julio Jones wore in his lone disappointing season with the Titans. It’s also the number Woods wore with the Rams in his final season there.
Mr. Trees switched from No. 17 to No. 2 in 2021 (he wore No. 2 at USC), and we expect he’ll be able to keep that number in Nashville.
