Bobby Trees Hangs It Up: Robert Woods Retires as a Ram

By Oddixa — 2026-02-17

Veteran wide receiver Robert Woods has officially retired from the NFL, signing a ceremonial one-day contract to end his career where he saw his greatest professional success.

A pillar of the Sean McVay era has officially called it a career. Robert Woods, affectionately known as "Bobby Trees," signed a one-day contract on Tuesday to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Rams. Woods spent five seasons in LA, serving as the versatile engine of an offense that reached two Super Bowls. While he finished his journey with stints in Tennessee and Houston, his legacy remains tied to the Rams' resurgence, where he recorded two 1,000-yard seasons and became one of the most respected run-blocking receivers in the league.

From a betting perspective, Woods was a model of consistency and a favorite for player prop enthusiasts during his prime. Between 2018 and 2020, he was a high-floor option in the "Receptions" and "Total Yards" markets, often serving as a security blanket for Jared Goff. His departure from the active roster marks the end of an era for a player who frequently outperformed his betting lines due to his heavy involvement in both the passing game and creative jet sweeps. His retirement solidifies the transition of the Rams' receiving corps to the Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua era, but his impact on the franchise's ATS (Against the Spread) success during their championship window cannot be overstated.
