Rumors swirl about key defensive starter leaving Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed on Monday that the organization "never said" linebacker Ernest Jones IV requested a trade.
"These are parts of the profession, and they're not fun parts, but they are real parts that you have to acknowledge,". "Ernest is a pro in every sense of the word. And so we're just kind of dealing with it a day at a time." Jones is slated to play a pivotal role for the defense this year, a unit short of star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. The key starter wasn't seen at practice on Monday in light of the swirling contract rumors.
In March, Rams general manager Les Snead said the team anticipated Jones playing out the final year of his contract at the NFL Annual Meeting. Snead added that the Rams allocated resources this spring toward external acquisitions and would re-work contracts with current players toward the end of the season.
