Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has signed a one-day contract to officially retire with the organization that gave him his greatest NFL moments. The 33-year-old announced his retirement Tuesday, marking the end of a 12-year professional career that included five seasons in Los Angeles.

Woods, a 2013 second-round pick from USC, reached his peak during his time with the Rams from 2017-2021. He posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 (1,219 yards) and 2019 (1,134 yards) and played a crucial role in the Rams' Super Bowl LVI championship run. The Carson native tore his ACL during the 2021 regular season, which ultimately altered the trajectory of his career.

Despite brief stints with the Steelers, Titans, and Texans after leaving Los Angeles, Woods will always be remembered as a Rams cornerstone who helped establish the franchise's modern offensive identity. His retirement ceremony underscores the deep connection between the player and the organization that drafted him into stardom. Woods finishes his career with 683 receptions for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns across 171 games.
