Los Angeles Rams Releases Senior Successor DeShawn Jackson After Failing To Find A Suitable Sales Partner; Kansas City Executives Swap Outline Rasher Melvin Ingram from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for Round 6 Draft Pick
The NFL swap deadline passed on Tuesday with minimal activity, and beleaguered Houston Texans quarterback Deshawn Watson remained in place despite talk of a move to the Miami Dolphins.
Watson has not been charged with a crime, although law enforcement and the NFL are simultaneously investigating. He hasn’t played for Houston even once in the 2021 season.
Another big story when the NFL trade deadline expired was when the Los Angeles Rams freed old successor DeShawn Jackson after they couldn’t find a suitable trading partner.
Jackson announced his departure from the team on social media, writing: “I am very grateful for the time I spent playing for LA Rams.
“While this is not the result we wanted, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and support given to me by the Rams coaches and all the fans. I understand that everything happens for a reason, and I look forward to starting the next chapter in my NFL career. Thanks. “

Another victim released by their team after playing just two games was Green Bay Packers midfielder Jylon Smith – less than a month after signing with the team following his exit from the Dallas Cowboys.
However, one of the players who won’t go anywhere is Odell Beckham Jr., and the receiver remains in Cleveland, despite a tweet from basketball superstar LeBron James that included the hashtag #FreeOBJ.
Beckham has struggled for productivity with the Browns since being traded to the team in 2019. He has just 232 yards this season and has zero touchdowns in six games this season.
Back in Miami, passing Tuesday’s trading deadline without the Dolphins going to Watson is sure to bring a sigh of relief to their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
