Rams weigh trading Allen, Davis, Bennett before 2026

The Los Angeles Rams could field trade offers for three players who now sit behind deep positional talent and shrinking contract years: young tight end Tyler Allen, defensive lineman Keion Davis, and developmental quarterback Stetson Bennett. Each man’s role has narrowed with free-agent additions and rising young stars, making them prime candidates to headline a mid-season move that could net the Rams future picks or roster flexibility heading into 2026.

Allen, a fourth-year tight end, has been squeezed by the Rams’ decision to keep Max Kroul and a core of veteran tight ends. The unit’s reliance on 13-personnel packages dropped sharply when starter Tyler Higbee went down last year, so the club now keeps five tight ends as insurance. If Allen stays healthy, his mix of size and route versatility could make him a hot mid-season pickup for a team needing a move-the-chains tight end who can line up inline or in the slot. A healthy Allen would instantly raise his trade value and could appeal to contenders looking for a low-risk, high-upside addition by October.

Defensive tackle Keion Davis is in his contract’s third year and still buried behind Kobie Turner and Poona Ford, with rookie Braden Fiske chipping in as a pass-rush specialist. Davis has barely seen the field and now faces the prospect of losing Ford to cap cuts, which could open a door for Davis to finally earn real snaps—except the Rams may prefer to deal him now while his name still carries some trade value. Moving Davis now would free salary and roster space without surrendering long-term upside on the interior.

Stetson Bennett, the third-string quarterback, is the most speculative play. The Rams already have Dresser Winn locked in as the QB3 through camp, but roster spots for emergency arms shrink once injuries pile up. Bennett, a McVay-trained passer with a championship pedigree at Georgia, is on the final year of his deal and could intrigue teams desperate for a low-cost insurance option. Quarterback-needy clubs may value his upside over his current production, and the Rams could flip him for a late pick or a practice-squad stash before the regular season tightens playoff races.
