The Los Angeles Rams have allowed wide receiver Allen Robinson to seek a trade, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The Rams are also willing to pay a portion of Robinson's $15.25-million guaranteed salary to facilitate a move, Pelissero adds.

Robinson was shopped around the 2022 trade deadline and again over the last few weeks, with both sides eager for a fresh start, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The receiver is the latest veteran possibly on their way out of L.A. The franchise plans to release linebacker Bobby Wagner and reportedly discussed trading star cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Los Angeles is also expected to release pass-rusher Leonard Floyd if it can't find a trade partner for him, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Floyd has recorded 29 sacks over his three seasons with the Rams.

The 29-year-old Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5-million deal with the Rams last offseason as a free agent. However, his first season in L.A. was disappointing, as the wideout caught just 33 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns over 10 games. His year also ended prematurely due to season-ending foot surgery.

Robinson has recorded three 1,000-plus-yard campaigns over his nine-year career. His best showing came in 2015, posting 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
