The Los Angeles Rams have until 4 p.m. ET today to make any trades before the deadline, and while they’ve been aggressive at times in the past, it doesn’t sound like they will be this year.
One player who could be dealt is Tre’Davious White, the former All-Pro cornerback who signed with the Rams this offseason. White has been a healthy scratch in the last four games because of poor play and the Rams have allowed him to seek a trade. Sean McVay has said the team would prefer to keep him, but he also understands that White wants a chance to contribute this season – and that’s unlikely to happen with the Rams.
On Monday, McVay was asked about the possibility of trading White and while there is a chance it could happen, “nothing is imminent.”
“There’s a possibility. Les [Snead] has had some dialogues with some teams. Those are very fluid conversations so there is a possibility, but nothing is imminent as of right now,” he said.
As far as trades in general, McVay said “there hasn’t been anything that we’ve really talked about,” so it doesn’t sound like the Rams will be very active before the deadline.
“’Tre’ is a guy that I know there has been some dialogue between Les, Kevin [Demoff] and his agent, so we’ll see if anything ends up coming to fruition,” McVay added.
If the Rams do trade White, don’t expect much in return. It’ll likely be a late-round pick swap or a future seventh-round pick. The Rams have no leverage considering he’s been on the bench for half the season, playing zero snaps in the last four games.
