Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Jermaine Jackson

Thursday, March 6, 11:46 AM

The Los Angeles Rams are signing wide receiver Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million fully guaranteed contract. The 2021 second-round pick out of Louisville was set to be a free agent with his rookie deal expiring, but he'll remain with the organization for at least one more season. Atwell has hauled in 99 receptions for 1,343 yards and four touchdowns in 54 career games. The speedster posted career highs in receptions (42) and receiving yards (562) in 2024. With Cooper Kupp likely to be traded, the organization keeps one of its depth wideouts to play behind Puka Nacua and whoever the team brings in this offseason. While Atwell is not a target hog or high-end producer, he stretches the field for Sean McVay's passing offense and could see an increased role in 2025.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jermaine Jackson (undisclosed) was waived and reverted to the IR on Sunday. The rookie receiver and return specialist suffered an undisclosed injury and will spend some time on the IR while the team tries out some more receivers in the meantime. They've been thin at the position through the early stages of training camp which prompted them to bring in Samson Nacua and Marquez Callaway. Jackson has a chance to come back and make the team, but it seems to be an uphill battle unless the injury issues continue with the receiving corps.
