The Los Angeles Rams are expected to sign former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Robert Woods, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Former Bills WR Robert Woods is returning to LA, to the Rams, per sources. Back in the Coliseum, like at USC.

Barring any snags, Robert Woods intends to sign a 5-year, $39 million deal, including $15 million guaranteed, with Rams, per sources.

Woods, who played his college football at USC, started 48 games in four seasons with the Bills. Last season, he caught 51 balls for 613 yards and one touchdown. His biggest game in 2016 came in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, when he hauled in 10 catches for 162 yards.
Woods is a do-it-all receiver as Bleacher Report‘s Doug Farrar notes:
Put simply, Woods does everything well, and he’d probably do everything at an even higher level in an offense that wasn’t as predictable as Buffalo’s. Yes, he’s good with the speed stuff, but he’d be most valuable to any team in need of a 1A receiver with the ability to take in an entire passing game and achieve everything asked of him.
Woods, who will be 25 next month, is also a Gardena native. His addition comes on the same day the Rams are expected to lose wide receiver Kenny Britt to the Cleveland Browns, per ESPN’s Adam Caplan.
Once finalized with Browns, Britt's expected terms: 4 years, $32.5m, $17m gtd.
