Rams Trade Van Jefferson to Falcons After Slow Start to Season

Cooper Kupp's return from injury reduced Jefferson's playing time and production for the Rams.
The emergence of rookies Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell made Jefferson expendable in the Rams' offense.
Jefferson had just 8 catches for 108 yards in the Rams' first 5 games of the 2022 season.
The Falcons acquired Jefferson and a 2025 7th round pick for a 2025 6th round pick to bolster their receiving corps.
Jefferson had his best season in 2021 with 50 catches for 802 yards, but struggled to produce in other years with the Rams.
