GM Nick Caserio and the Houston Texans continue to stock up on wide receivers for franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud.
According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Los Angeles Rams have traded veteran wide receiver Ben Skowronek to Houston.
The former seventh-round draft pick joins an absolutely loaded pass-catching group in the Space City.

As it stands now, the Texans have one of the great receiver cores in the league.
After trading for four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the Houston offense now feels complete.
DeMeco Ryans’ offense already had 1,000-yard receiver Nico Collins and exciting, young talent Tank Dell, who had over 700 receiving yards in just 11 games before getting hurt.
Veteran receiver Robert Woods is also a former 1,000-yard receiver and Super Bowl champion that catches passes from Stroud too.
Starting tight end Dalton Schultz had a resurgent 2023 as he recorded the second-most receiving yards in his career (635).
Skowronek joins that cast of studs and brings plenty of playoff and Super Bowl experience.
At this point, he is more of a WR4 or WR5 than anything else.
The best season of his three-year career came in 2022 when he caught 39 passes on 61 targets for 376 yards.
He has just two total touchdowns in three years.
On the Los Angeles Rams side of things, they will roll with All-Pro Cooper Kupp, All-Pro Puka Nacua, and speedy Tutu Atwell as their top three wide receivers on the roster.
Both teams appear to be content with their pass-catchers as they look towards the summer.
