Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:46:16 GMT

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Sean McVay admits the Los Angeles Rams didn’t improve their team when they traded veteran receiver Van Jefferson to the Falcons.The coach also says Rams fans shouldn’t expect any major additions this season to counter the steady subtraction of the past several months, culminating in Jefferson’s departure for a late-round 2025 draft pick swap.McVay said Wednesday that the timing of the trade was in deference to Jefferson, who is in the final year of his rookie contract. The Super Bowl-winning receiver was a steady contributor when healthy in past seasons and a well-liked player in the locker room, but he had also fallen down the Rams’ depth chart with 12 games left in the season.“He was nothing but a class act, nothing but a pro, but I think he probably wanted to have a bigger role,” McVay said. “That’s understandable.”Jefferson played only two snaps in last Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia, and his chances of returning to the Rams in...
