Jefferson, a second-round pick by the Rams in the 2020 NFL Draft, totaled 137 catches for 1,876 yards and 12 scores through his first 78 career appearances. He hauled in 50 catches for a career-best 802 yards and six scores over 17 starts in 2021 for the Rams, who went on to win a Super Bowl that postseason.

He is set to join a wide receivers room that includes Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks, among others.

A league sourced told UPI on Tuesday that Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who led the Titans with nine receiving scores last season, agreed to sign with the Miami Dolphins in free agency.
