Falcons trade for Rams WR Van Jefferson

The Atlanta Falcons traded for Los Angeles Rams receiver Van Jefferson on Tuesday.

As part of the deal, the Falcons sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Rams for a seventh-round selection in the same year.

In his fourth season out of Florida, Jefferson has eight catches for 108 yards and no touchdowns.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound receiver has played in 49 games for Los Angeles, making 30 starts. His best year came in 2021, when the Rams made their Super Bowl run. He started every game that season and had career highs in targets (89), catches (50), yards (802) and touchdowns (six).
