Los Angeles Rams: 3 Dream trade targets from Raiders before 2020 training camp
By Dan Parzych
3. Nicholas Morrow
Three years ago, the Raiders knew they had nothing to lose by signing Nicholas Morrow as an undrafted free agent, and seeing the team recently re-sign him in April to a one-year deal shows how much Las Vegas values the linebacker on the roster.

Then again, the argument can also be made that Las Vegas isn’t sold on Morrow being around for the long run since they not only signed him so late in the offseason but also are only paying the Greenville product a little over $3 million.
Despite appearing in every game for the Raiders over the last three seasons, Morrow only earned a total of 18 starts, eight of which came during the 2019 season.
Morrow may not seem like the kind of player who falls into the category of dream target for a team like the Rams, but at least this would help provide some much-needed depth to the position.
Adding Lewis to the mix at linebacker along with the hope of Micah Kiser and Samson Ebukam elevating their games to new levels makes it seem like Los Angeles will be in solid shape, but for all they know, Morrow could even compete for a starting role.
