The Los Angeles Rams' roster doesn't have many flaws heading into the 2026 season, but one area the team could add depth to is at receiver.
>Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are clear studs at the position, but who will emerge as the team's third receiver is a bit of a mystery between Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and 2026 sixth-round pick C.J. Daniels. Another of those four could take on a big role in the offense, but the Rams could also add a veteran from free agency to fill the need in the offense.
>CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani believes that the receiver could be Stefon Diggs. The former Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans and New England Patriots star remains a free agent after an 85-catch, 1,013-yard and four-touchdown season. He also won't face a suspension from the NFL following an off-field assault allegation.
The Rams had the No. 1 offense in the league last year with MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford and star wideouts Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Despite that talented room, the Rams showed interest in A.J. Brown earlier this offseason, so they could still be in the market for a new weapon. Diggs isn't the same player as Brown, but he could join a loaded offense and chase a ring with the Rams. Maybe Aaron Donald comes out of retirement to do the same.
L.A.'s real interest in a caliber of player like Brown indicates the team is keeping its eye open at the position ahead of the year. Whether that means Diggs is on the Rams' radar is another element entirely, though.
