The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to trade wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Ben Skowronek to the Houston Texans. Initially, there were reports that Skowronek, a veteran with 12 starts over three seasons, was to be released by the Rams. However, a last-minute trade agreement was reached instead, as a source said. The Texans, in exchange for Skowronek, will swap 6th and 7th round draft picks with the Rams in 2026. This move comes as a surprise given the Rams' lack of depth at the wide receiver position and the Texans' existing depth in that area.
Panthers have No. 1 priority on the waiver wire. Not to say they were interested, but if the Texans thought they (or any team in front of them) would be, it makes sense to jump the line. https://t.co/UowLs9rK1M

Bit of a bizarre trade. Rams don't have much WR depth and Skowronek seemingly had a good shot at the 53, whereas the Texans are loaded with WR depth and will cut a notable young player or two. https://t.co/ahYPQEtdY7
