The Los Angeles Rams have never met a trade for a star defender they didn’t like.
Well, they were at it again on Monday, as the Rams have reportedly traded for Pro Bowl pass rusher Von Miller, a former Texas A&M star. He’ll join a defense that already features Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams will send second- and third-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Broncos in exchange for Miller:

The Rams are a Super Bowl contender this year. This makes them even more dangerous, especially with Miller alongside those other superstars.
