Los Angeles Rams trade cornerback Tre'Davious White to the Baltimore Ravens, receiving a seventh-round pick in return.

Why it matters: The Rams have decided to part ways with White, who has been plagued by injuries and hasn't played a game since September. This move allows them to gain some value in exchange for a player they couldn't utilize effectively.

  • White's lack of playing time and his injury history likely contributed to the Rams' decision to trade him.
  • The Rams may be looking to add depth or make other changes to their defensive roster.

What's new: The Rams are sending a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Ravens in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round selection as part of the trade.

Yes, but: While White's injuries have limited his contributions in recent seasons, he was a highly regarded player before that.

  • He was a first-round pick in 2017 and a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
  • In 2019, White tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions.

What to watch: It will be interesting to see how White performs with the Ravens and if he can stay healthy.

  • The Ravens may believe that White still has the potential to make a significant impact on their defense.

What's next: The Rams will need to address the void left by White's departure, either through internal options or potentially seeking additional help through trades or free agency.

The bottom line: The trade of Tre'Davious White signifies the Rams' desire to move on from an injured player and potentially shake up their defensive roster. Only time will tell if this move works out in their favor.
