Tutu Atwell Returns to Rams to Chase Another Super Bowl Ring After He Thought Their Book Was Closed
The Rams sent running back Jarquez Hunter to Miami for Atwell, who had 187 snaps and 15 targets last season.
The Los Angeles Rams reacquired wide receiver Tutu Atwell from the Dolphins in exchange for running back Jarquez Hunter shortly before final roster cutdowns, with Rams head coach Sean McVay notifying Atwell of the move last week.
Atwell spent his first five seasons with the Rams, and the team sought to reacquire the veteran wideout for his intimate knowledge of their offensive system.
Boasting 105 catches for 1,535 yards in his career, Atwell made the longest NFL reception last season with an 88-yard touchdown pass and said the Rams' playbook is "all muscle memory."
Jarquez Hunter failed to make the Dolphins' 53-man roster after the trade, while Atwell said he was shocked to hear the news but noted, "Nah, man, it don't feel like I was gone."
As the Rams begin another run at the Super Bowl, McVay clarified the move was not related to Puka Nacua, positioning Atwell to compete for the team's unsettled third receiver spot.
