(Al Diaz/Miami Herald/Tribune News Service via Getty Images) The Los Angeles Rams used their first two picks on offensive players but did not address their most pressing need on that side of the ball by picking a wide receiver. Could the Rams now turn back to veteran free agents for options as insurance and a complement to Puka Nacua and Tyreek Hill? ESPN’s Mike Clay tweeted out a list of current free agents, including these receivers ranking at the top. Tyreek Hill, Deebo Samuel, Stefon Diggs, Jauan Jennings, and former Rams player Josh Reynolds headline the list.
Marques Valdes-Scantling signed with the Cowboys on Monday. Hill, who is 32 and therefore younger than Adams, tore his ACL and dislocated his knee in Week 4. A return timeline can only be speculated, but Hill could be ready as soon as Week 1, comeback midseason, or miss the 2026 season entirely. Diggs had 1,013 yards and helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl last year, but has yet to take an offer with a team and is going through some off-field accusations related to an alleged sexual assault. Samuel had 72 catches for 727 yards with the Commanders last year. He recently turned 30. And speaking of former 49ers, Jauan Jennings caught nine touchdowns with the 49ers last season, but there hasn’t been much heat on him catching on somewhere else. The Rams have come up as a possible destination:

The veteran wideout isn’t the most explosive guy on the field, but instead, he uses his strong route-running to his advantage to get open. While with San Francisco, **Jennings** was able to help keep the team afloat during this last season while they dealt with all sorts of injuries across the roster.

Jennings is able to pick spots against defenses, and this could be perfect for the Rams. Pairing him with Nacua and Adams could completely open this offseason up, giving Stafford more firepower to work with.

Los Angeles would easily have the best offensive weapons in the NFL, and opposing defenses would have a very tough time trying to guard them. The 2026 season is Super Bowl or bust for the Rams, and if they could bring Jennings in, even on a one-year deal, it could make all the difference. At this time, the Rams number three receiver would come down to Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and rookie C.J. Daniels. Running the highest rate of 13 personnel in the NFL, it is true that L.A. may not value a third receiver as much as some teams. However, a receiver is still a receiver and a tight end is still a tight end, so fans have to stop saying that second round pick Max Klare or Terrance Ferguson is a “receiver” pick. They’re not. They are tight ends. Adams could be the oldest starting receiver in the NFL next season. The team has yet to commit to Puka Nacua long-term with his off-field issues. Adding someone now could help L.A.’s chances of reaching the Super Bowl next season. None of these players are long-term answers by any means, but after passing on receivers in the draft that ship has already sailed. Will the Rams pick up a right-now answer?
