Why some other team? I mean, If he does so well here why would you wish for him to leave? I hope he does well and meshes well and resigns somehow. A WR of his caliber is better then a potential 3rd round comp pick anyday.
I think it's just the reality of the Rams 2022 cap situation in relation to the number of free agents they will have.
Right now the Rams have $6M in cap space (although they can, and probably will, increase that with some renegotiations and/or extensions). But as it stands, that $6M is less than all but 5 other teams).
Here are all of the Rams free agents next year, some of whom obviously won't be re-signed. But three of these guys are penciled in as OL starters, one is a starting DL, two are part of the OLB rotational, at least one would be a starting CB if he re-signs, one is the #2 TE, and one is the current #2 RB (although he drops to #3 once Akers returns).
Odell Beckham, Jr, WR
Austin Corbett, G
Brian Allen, C
Joe Noteboom OT
Sebastian Joseph-Day, DL
Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB
Von Miller, OLB
Darious Williams, CB
Donte Deayon, CB
Johnny Mundt, TE
Sony Michel, RB
Buddy Howell, RB
