What happened: PFSN analyst Matt Okada identified veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. as a free-agent target for the Los Angeles Rams. The recommendation follows the Rams' unsuccessful pursuit of A.J. Brown, who was traded to the New England Patriots earlier this offseason.

Why it matters: Los Angeles features a strong receiving duo in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams but lacks proven depth at the third receiver position. Samuel offers scheme familiarity and reliable production, which would bolster the passing attack following the team's NFC Championship Game defeat.

By the numbers: Samuel has recorded 48 total touchdowns over his career. The Rams bypassed the wide receiver position in the 2026 NFL Draft until the sixth round.

What to watch: Watch for Los Angeles to evaluate veteran free agents to complete its receiving corps before training camp.
