- Rams acquire All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie from Chiefs for haul of draft picks
The writing was on the wall, and now it's a reality. The Los Angeles Rams are acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs for a haul of draft picks.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Rams will send the Chiefs the No. 29 overall pick, a fifth-rounder and sixth-rounder, as well as a third-rounder in 2027 in exchange for McDuffie.

It's a blockbuster trade that solidifies the Rams' biggest roster need, filling a glaring hole at cornerback. McDuffie, a 2023 first-team All-Pro and 2024 second-team selection, is one of the best corners in football and now joins a Rams defense that is already full of talent.
McDuffie, the 21st overall pick in 2022, has played and started 56 games in his four-year career thus far. He played his college ball at Washington under Jimmy Lake, who's now the Rams' pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach.
Last season, McDuffie picked off one pass and had seven breakups to go with 63 tackles and one sack. He was limited to 13 games due to a knee injury that caused him to miss time.
