The Los Angeles Rams paid a steep price to land star cornerback Trent McDuffie when they agreed to trade four draft picks, including the No. 29 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, to the Kansas City Chiefs this past week.
Now, that investment is going to cost them real dollars.
Rams, Trent McDuffie agree to record contract extension
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday, the Rams and McDuffie have agreed to a four-year, $124M contract extension (including $100M in guarantees) that will make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.
The $31M per year average puts him just ahead of the $30M annually that Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner makes.
When the trade and the contract extension become official this week, it will be the first major move in re-tooling both the Rams and the Chiefs organizations.
