Report: Rams make All-Pro Trent McDuffie highest-paid CB in NFL history

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Los Angeles Rams came to terms with cornerback Trent McDuffie Sunday evening on a four-year, $124 million extension, according to ESPN.

The deal for the former Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro includes a $100 million guarantee, which will make him the highest-paid cornerback in league history.

The Chiefs traded McDuffie, 25, to the Rams on March 5 in exchange for the 29th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft and the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round selections in 2026 as well as a third-round pick in 2027.

The Chiefs exercised McDuffie’s fifth-year option in April 2025. He recorded 63 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in 13 games (all starts) last season, but missed the final four games due to a knee injury.

A two-time Super Bowl champion, McDuffie has totaled 246 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 34 pass breakups and three interceptions in 56 career games (all starts) since being selected by Kansas City with the 21st overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The University of Washington alum earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2023 and second team accolades in 2024.

Report: Rams re-signing Kam Curl to 3-year, $36M deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Safety Kam Curl will remain with the Los Angeles Rams, agreeing to a three-year, $36 million deal, NFL Network reported Friday.

The contract has a maximum value of $39 million with incentives.

This is the second piece of big news for the Los Angeles secondary this week.

On Wednesday, ESPN reported that the Rams are acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs in a blockbuster trade that includes the 29th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs reportedly also would receive the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round selections in that draft as well as a third-round pick in 2027.

Curl was a seventh-round draft pick by Washington and didn’t take long to move into a starter’s role. He spent the first four seasons of his career there before signing a two-year, $9 million free-agent deal with the Rams before the 2024 season.

He earned his big payday with the Rams after 33 games (all starts) in which he made 201 tackles, intercepted two passes and defended 14 others. He has three sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and a touchdown.

Overall, he has appeared in 93 games (86 starts) and has 586 tackles, eight sacks, five interceptions, 28 passes defended, four forced fumbles and three recoveries.

Report: Rams to acquire All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie from Chiefs

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Los Angeles Rams are acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs in a blockbuster trade that includes the 29th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, ESPN reported on Wednesday.

The Chiefs reportedly also would receive the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round selection in that draft as well as a third-round pick in 2027.

The Rams, however, still own the No. 13 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. They acquired that pick from the Atlanta Falcons during a draft-day trade last April.

An All-Pro in 2023, McDuffie would be expected to sign a long-term deal with the Rams, per ESPN.

McDuffie, 25, recorded 63 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in 13 games (all starts) last season.

A two-time Super Bowl champion, McDuffie has totaled 246 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 34 pass breakups and three interceptions in 56 career games (all starts) since being selected by Kansas City with the 21st overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Texans’ Nick Chubb, Chiefs’ Trent McDuffie, Wanya Morris exit with injuries

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Houston Texans have ruled out running back Nick Chubb with a rib injury, while the host Kansas City Chiefs are without left tackle Wanya Morris and cornerback Trent McDuffie because of knee injuries sustained in Sunday night’s game.

The Texans downgraded Chubb from questionable to out after he played just six snaps in the first half and rushed one time for three yards.

Chubb, 29, has 115 carries for 472 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games (eight starts) in his first season in Houston.

He spent his first seven seasons in Cleveland, where he had 1,340 carries for 6,842 yards and 51 touchdowns in 97 regular-season games (86 starts). He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times.

The Browns selected him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia.

McDuffie, 25, entered Sunday with 62 tackles, one sack, one interception, seven passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 games (12 starts). He was credited with one tackle before he was downgraded from questionable to out against Houston.

Kansas City picked him 21st overall in the 2022 draft out of Washington. McDuffie was first-team All-Pro in 2023.

Morris, 25, has played in 12 games this season as a reserve. The Chiefs selected him in the third round of the 2023 draft out of Oklahoma.

Chiefs rookie CB Trent McDuffie returns to practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Kansas City Chiefs rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie returned to practice Wednesday after spending the past four weeks on injured reserve.

McDuffie injured his hamstring in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and the team has 21 days to place him on the active roster.

“He’s been rehabbing and we’ll just see how he does,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. “He’s been going full-speed with his rehab. We’ll see how he does working back in.”

McDuffie, taken No. 21 overall in this year’s draft, earned the start against the Cardinals but got injured after 32 defensive snaps.

McDuffie doesn’t have an injury report designation since he’s not on the 53-man roster. Four Chiefs missed practice Wednesday — safety Bryan Cook (concussion), cornerbacks Rashad Fenton (hamstring) and Chris Lammons (hip), and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton (torn ACL).

However, kicker Harrison Butker returned to practice after missing four games with a sprained ankle he sustained in Week 1. Matt Ammendola (Weeks 2-3) and Matthew Wright (Weeks 4-5) have filled in. Butker was listed as limited.

Defensive ends Frank Clark (illness) and Mike Danna (calf) were also listed as limited.

The Chiefs (4-1) are preparing for a mighty AFC showdown against the Buffalo Bills (4-1), who opened as slight favorites over the Chiefs in Kansas City.

Washington Huskies junior cornerback Trent McDuffie is entering the 2022 NFL Draft.

The three-year starter and 2021 All-Pac-12 first-team selection made the announcement Monday. He’s projected as a first-round pick by most outlets.

“We decided it was the best time for me to take this next step on this new adventure,” McDuffie told Yahoo Sports.

McDuffie registered 94 tackles, two interceptions and three forced fumbles in 28 games with the Huskies. He was the Pac-12 Freshman Defensive Player of the Year in 2019 and a second-team all-conference pick in 2020.
