NFL trade rumors: 5 moves we want to see
3. Martavis Bryant to the Los Angeles Rams
Trade: Bryant to Los Angeles for a fourth-round pick (No. 112 overall)
Bryant is still suspended, but there have been reports that his indefinite ban is going to be lifted. In his two years of action since being a fourth-round pick from Clemson, Bryant shined for the Steelers. An electric athletic, Bryant played second-fiddle to Antonio Brown, hauling in 14 touchdowns and over 1,300 combined yards. Most importantly, he is an elite deep threat, racking up an absurd 17.3 yards per catch.
However, the Steelers could move on from him with the emergence of Eli Rogers and the continued greatness of both Brown and Le’Veon Bell. Pittsburgh has to feed Bell and Brown, and with Rogers providing an addition weapon (594 yards in 2016), Bryant and his considerable baggage becomes expendable.
The Rams desperately need more talent at the receiver spot. Los Angeles signed Robert Woods to replace Kenny Britt this offseason, but Tavon Austin is not enough to keep defenses honest on the other side. Head coach Sean McVay would be wise to shift Austin into the slot full-time, while acquiring Bryant as his X receiver for the outside.
