WR Woods catches big contract from Rams

-

Wide receiver Robert Woods agreed to a four-year contract extension worth up to $68 million with the Los Angeles Rams on Friday, according to sources.

Woods’ extension includes a guaranteed $32 million, and the veteran receiver is now signed through the 2025 season.

Woods is the third major contributo­r to the Rams to agree to a contract extension in the past two weeks. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey got a five-year, $105 million extension last week, while Woods’ counterpar­t, fellow 1,100-yard receiver Cooper Kupp, got a three-year deal worth $48 million.

Woods is coming off two highly productive seasons for the Rams with 2,353 total yards receiving. He has been a major component of Los Angeles’ prolific offense under coach Sean McVay since they joined the franchise together in 2017. INJURY UPDATES >> Wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring) and guard Joe Dahl (groin) are out against the Packers, who won’t have the services of defensive tackle Kenny Clark (groin).

Wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Jets’ game Sunday.

Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss Sunday’s home opener.

The Bills will be without starting linebacker­s, Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) and Matt Milano (hamstring), on Sunday. OBITUARY >> Larry Wilson, a former Cardinals safety and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has died Thursday evening. He was 82.

Wilson spent more than 43 years in the Cardinals’ organizati­on as a player and an executive.

A seventh-round draft pick out of Utah in 1960, Wilson played 13 years with the Cardinals. He was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and was a first-team All Pro five times.

Wilson was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was on both the NFL’s 75th and 100th anniversar­y teams. He holds franchise records with 52 career intercepti­ons and 800 intercepti­on return yards. His seven straight games with an intercepti­on in 1966 are secondmost in NFL history.
