Tue Nov 05 20:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Rams Unexpectedly Turn Away from Trade Deadline Deals, Except for Tre’Davious White
**LOS ANGELES** – Just weeks ago, the Los Angeles Rams were rumored to be sellers at the NFL trade deadline, but a recent winning streak has changed their plans. Coach Sean McVay confirmed on Monday that the team is not pursuing any trade acquisitions, except for a possible move involving veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White.
“There hasn’t been anything that we’ve really talked about,” McVay said regarding trade acquisitions. “Nothing of that nature.”
However, the Rams are still exploring trade options for White, who is currently surplus to requirements on the team’s depth chart. “There’s a possibility,” McVay admitted. “Les [Snead, general manager] has had some dialogues with some teams.”
The Rams are hoping to finalize a trade for White before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday. If a trade doesn’t materialize, the team may release White, potentially leading to a negotiation with his agent to reduce the termination pay owed to him.
White is currently earning a base salary of $1.5 million. If released and unclaimed, he would be entitled to the remaining $750,000. The Rams are therefore looking to minimize any potential financial hit.
The Rams’ unexpected shift from sellers to buyers, with the exception of White, is a testament to their recent success. Their recent victories have instilled a belief that they can still compete in the current season, making them less inclined to part with key players. The future of Tre’Davious White, however, remains uncertain as the trade deadline looms.
