Rams Lock in Safety Kam Curl with $39M Deal

0:00On March 6th, the Los Angeles Rams have locked in safety cam curl with a 3-year deal worth up to $39 million. After a strong 2025 season where he stood out on a defense that struggled late, curl proved to be a fan favorite and a smart bet for the team. This move marks a shift for the Rams, who traditionally avoided big contracts for safeties and inside linebackers. Instead, they focused on pass rushers and cornerbacks while keeping other spots cheap, but with heavy spending on offense, that approach wore thin this year. Fans made it clear they wanted curl back through social media polls and buzz around his play. His return strengthens the secondary's base, especially with new all pro cornerback Trent McDuffy joining the mix. It keeps the universe a tile and tough. Curl posted solid numbers last season, including two interceptions, just one touchdown allowed, and a low 5.4% missed tackle rate. As 6.2 and 207 pounds, he brings linebacker like hits to the safety spot.
