The Los Angeles Rams are considering trade options for linebacker Ernest Jones, but Jones has emphasized that he did not request a trade. After reports emerged suggesting the Rams had given Jones permission to explore trade opportunities, Jones took to social media to clarify his stance, though he later removed the post. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed that the Rams have engaged in discussions with Jones’ representatives and other teams regarding a possible trade. The team is open to moving the fourth-year linebacker, but has not extended his contract, despite discussions earlier this spring. “In his defense, he’s right. He never asked for a trade,” McVay stated. “We’ve communicated with his representatives, and there have been talks with other teams, and that’s where things stand. These are the difficult parts of the profession, but they are realities we must face. Ernest is a professional in every sense of the word.” Jones has played a crucial role in the Rams’ defense, starting 15 games last season and recording 145 tackles. He was expected to assume a leadership role this year, but his future with the team is now uncertain.
