NFL Trade Rumors: Rams WR Allen Robinson to Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs?

[DenverChief]

The Los Angeles Rams need high picks in order to retool the roster and turn the ship around.

Only problem? They don't have that many.

While the 11 selections the Rams have are valuable, eight of those picks come after No. 150 overall. The team's three picks outside of those come on Day 2, and

Los Angeles could use another one.

Bleacher Report suggests an idea that could land them another mid-round pick, trading wide receiver Allen Robinson II to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are seeking a top wideout for Patrick Mahomes after JuJu Smith-Schuster signed with the New England Patriots in free agency, and Robinson fits the build.

The timing of this deal could be a little tricky though.
If the Rams were to trade Robinson before the draft in order to acquire a pick for this year, Los Angeles would save a mere $1.6 million in cap space. However, if the team had some patience and waited until after June 1, the Rams would save $10 million.

Last spring, Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5 million deal with the Rams. His contract carries cap hits north of $18 million for the upcoming 2023 and 2024 seasons -- clearly a situation the front office wants to avoid taking on.

Robinson is talented but managed to catch just 33 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in his first season with the Rams, failing to reach the high expectations placed upon him when he came to Los Angeles.

A divorce could be best for both sides, and the Chiefs could bring out the best in Robinson with arguably the league's best quarterback throwing to him.

Sean McVay today, on the Rams giving WR Allen Robinson permission to seek a trade: "Clear communication. Allen is a great person and he's been a great player for a long time. You talk to him and you say, 'this is a possibility that we're exploring, that we might move you. But

if we don't, I want you to know that I'm going to pour everything I have into you as a player and try to reach your highest potential, make sure it's an enjoyable experience where you love coming into work.' That's exactly where we've left it. I don't think it's uncomfortable

My wet dreams of pairing Allen Robinson with Tyreek Hill a few years ago are well-documented on ChiefsPlanet, but that dude is like a shot fighter at this point. Punch drunk. Nothing left. His game fell right off a cliff.

Cedric Wilson also being theorized as available

There’s a big difference between a rumor and a guy throwing random potential trades at a wall that he thinks might make sense to justify his existence as an online journalist.

This is the latter and he makes that clear. There’s nothing about this that deserves the characterization of “rumor.” Thread title is unnecessarily misleading.

[Why Not?]

Not convinced 2023 Allan Robinson is significantly better than say, Justin Watson. He is, however, significantly more expensive. Pass.

I think there’s a very good chance he gets moved. For sure it’s a rumor to suspect any team is interested in him yet.

There’s still a surprising amount of offseason left. You expect guys like jeudy, tee Higgins, Keenan Allen, mike Williams, DHop to move. We still have some mega mega qb contracts that haven’t hit yet.

I’m assuming the Rams would pay part of the ‘23 salary and KC would restructure the rest of his deal. May not be a terrible plan.

I don't see why not. It's a fact that we're completely clueless as to which JAG WR "reclamation project" Veach is going to sign to replace JuJu at this point. AR is as likely as any.

Robinson aNd nagy had a great relationship in Chicago right?


Right?

This was some random opinion-piece article on Fanside nothing more. There’s no “smoke” here whatsoever and this isn’t worthy of its own thread.

Here is the other stuff from the Bleacher source

The Arizona Cardinals have been open to dealing wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins this offseason, but they haven't found a trade partner yet. That could change now that Arizona has opened the door for teams to speak with Hopkins directly.

"The Cardinals' initial ask, to get a second-rounder and another asset for Hopkins, seems to have fallen flat," Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote Monday. "... To try to facilitate something, I'm told Arizona has granted teams permission to talk to Hopkins and his agents."

Hopkins is 30 years old and coming off a season shortened by a performance-enhancing drug suspension, but he's still one of the better wideouts in the league. In nine games this past season, he caught 64 passes for 717 yards and three touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs lost receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman in free agency. Hopkins would be a terrific go-to target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Kansas City is at least somewhat interested.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs are among the teams who "are at least looking" at a Hopkins trade. Fowler also mentioned the Buffalo Bills, who are seeking depth behind Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

Buffalo's reported interest in Hopkins could force the hand of Chiefs general manager Brett Veach. If he isn't amenable to surrendering a second-round pick, a third-rounder might do the trick.

Thread title is title of article
