4 teams who could steal Saquon Barkley from the NY Giants in 2023

2. Los Angeles Rams
We all know Hollywood loves stars. In the last couple of years we have seen Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford, Von Miller, Odell Beckham Jr., and Allen Robinson all defect west to join the Rams.
The one position the Rams have failed to get a star at is running back. Right before the trade deadline, the Rams were reportedly locked in a bidding war with their rivals, the San Fransisco 49ers, to acquire Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers. Their own running back Cam Akers requested a trade, and his running back mate, Darrell Henderson Jr., has been an average NFL running back.
The Rams love to trade for stars, but this time they wouldn’t have to give anything up for one, as they could just simply sign Barkley. The Rams have very limited cap space, but always seem to pull of some magic to fit an unlimited amount of NFL stars on their roster.
The Rams are currently in the midst of a disastrous season and their 3-6 start is tied for the worst in the Super Bowl era by a defending champion. Los Angeles will likely miss the playoffs this season, which could inspire the franchise to making some high-profile additions this offseason.
