According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, the Chargers turned down at least one team that inquired about WR Ladd McConkey ahead of the trade deadline, and teams across the league believe the Rams made that call. 

However, Fowler and Graziano report that the Rams didn’t seriously consider adding a receiver because they expect Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to return this season.

Ultimately, the Rams think Matthew Stafford can maximize their current receiver corps until Nacua and Adams return. 

McConkey, 25, was a three-year starter at Georgia and earned second-team All-SEC in 2022. The Chargers selected him with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. 

McConkey is in the third year of his four-year, $9,995,190 contract that includes a $4,089,228 signing bonus with the Chargers.
