NASHVILLE – Robert Woods heard from Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay shortly after the reigning Super Bowl champions agreed to a deal with free agent Allen Robinson.
Given a chance to pick a new team for the next phase of his NFL career, the receiver nicknamed “Bobby Trees” saw the Tennessee Titans as the best fit in more than one way.
“Winning the Super Bowl and not being able to play (due to injury), and then joining the organization that’s right there, could’ve been there last (season), my goal is to win it back to back,” Woods said Wednesday.
The Titans announced the trade Wednesday, acquiring Woods for a sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft. The deal became final once Tennessee cleared some much-needed space under the salary cap. The Titans also announced they signed linebacker Dylan Cole, who joined them this past season, to a one-year deal.
Woods became expendable despite signing a four-year, $65 million contract extension with Los Angeles in September 2020.
