Rams Worked Out Three WRs Including Chad Hansen

According to Howard Balzer, the Los Angeles Rams brought in three wide receivers for tryouts on Saturday including Jace Billingsley, Chad Hansen and Austin Proehl.

Hansen, 23, was selected with the No. 141 overall pick by the Jets in last year’s NFL draft. He was entering the second year of his four-year rookie contract worth $2,819,648 when the Jets elected to waive him as they trimmed their roster down to the 53-man limit.

The Patriots claimed him off of waivers shortly after but elected to waive last month. Hansen had a brief stint on the Titans’ practice squad.

In 2017, Hansen appeared in 15 games for the Jets and recorded nine receptions for 94 yards (10.4 YPC) and no touchdowns.

Billingsley, 25, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Oregon back in 2016. Unfortunately, the Lions waived him coming out of the preseason and later signed him to their practice squad.

Billingsley was called up toward the end of last year, but he was once again among the Lions’ final roster cuts and he later had a brief stint on the Patriots’ practice squad.

In 2017, Billingsley appeared in two games but did not record a statistic.
