Report: Rams Pick up Another Former Chiefs Cornerback
The Rams secured McDuffie with $100 million guaranteed, surpassing previous cornerback salaries amid Chiefs' cap limits and draft pick return.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams reached a four-year, $124 million extension with cornerback Trent McDuffie, making him the NFL's highest-paid cornerback, ESPN reported.
- Facing salary-cap pressure, the Kansas City Chiefs entered the offseason more than $57 million over the cap, prompting general manager Brett Veach to trade Trent McDuffie for draft picks rather than keep him beyond 2026.
- A Los Angeles native, McDuffie recorded 246 tackles, three interceptions, 34 passes defensed, and eight forced fumbles in four NFL seasons, earning multiple All‑Pro honors.
- The Rams secure an elite cornerback and boost Super Bowl hopes, while the Chiefs receive the 29th overall pick in this year's draft, retooling their roster.
- The extension includes $100 million guaranteed and averages about $31 million per year, setting a new market high for cornerbacks, and nearly $1 million more than Sauce Gardner's salary.
