The LA Rams decided to sign veteran free agent DeSean Jackson to add to the LA Rams receiver room. By doing so, it was believed that DJacc would infuse a bit of deep threat speed among the wide receivers in a way that would stretch the defense, open up running lanes, and ensure that the short and intermediate passing routes would be less populated by defensive backs.
Of course, there was that nagging concern about his availability. In two previous seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, he played just eight games. To mitigate the risk of injury in 2021, the LA Rams wanted to make sure that he was not overworked, so the team pledged to limit his snap count.
