Tennessee received the 29-year-old wideout in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick.

Some may mainly see Woods through his ACL tears last season, but Titans general manager Jon Robinson identifies a potential bargain by acting for the experienced WR.

When healthy, Woods stood among welcoming groups that included Brandin Cooks, Josh Reynolds (serving his best tracks for the Rams) and a young Cooper Cup.

Woods totaled more than 1,100+ receiving yards between 2018-19.

Trusted by head coach Sean McVay and his quarterbacks to run his stretch and strong hands, Woods was a preferred option on third downs and always able to get behind the secondary for a big win.

Prior to injury, Woods had a total of 45 receptions, 556 receiving yards and four touchdowns through nine games last season.

Without Woods in the offense, the Rams would have turned out to give second-year receiver Van Jefferson more reps, but Woods’ failure ultimately required more experience.

Rams GM Les Snead has decided to hire Odell Beckham, Jr.

Los Angeles eventually reached the Super Bowl and won – sending Woods with some jewelry for his five seasons of service to the Rams.

He also leaves as one of the more popular receivers of Rams fans.

Tennessee also announced that Dontrell Hilliard’s signing will return on Saturday.

As part of the running back committee tasked with filling out Derrick Henry’s injury, Hilliard appeared in eight games and ran for 350 yards, two touchdowns and averaged 5.7 yards per rush.
