The Facts: Shortly after the Rams and Detroit Lions agreed to a trade that would send Matthew Stafford out west, the quarterback began receiving texts from players that wanted to come join him in Los Angeles, per sources. One of those players who is expected to be interested in joining Stafford in Los Angeles is Lions wide receiver Jones, per sources.
Diehards Line:
Jones is scheduled to be a free agent this winter and he grew up in Fontana, California, and later attended Cal. The Rams and Jones seem like a natural fit even before free agency begins March 17. And there will be others as well. The Rams will have a recruiting advantage over some teams with the city they play in, the stadium they boast and the quarterback they have. It is very similar to what happened last March, after Tom Brady and the Bucs reached agreement. Players began reaching out to Brady and the Buccaneers, expressing their interest in relocating to a new home to be around a great quarterback and great weather. They all wanted to be a part of a program that was trying to become the first team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl in that team's home stadium.
