Rams Pursue Christian Brown for Secondary Boost

0:00On March 9th, the Los Angeles Rams are bolstering their corner-back group after trading for Trent McDuffy from the Kansas City Chiefs, but they still need another starter. Free agent Christian Brown, who played well for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, tops their list. His skills and coverage make him a solid fit as a number two corner. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers are also chasing Brown to shore up their secondary despite their strong front-7. With NFL free agency starting in just days, this NFC West rivalry could heat up fast. The Rams gained $7.5 million in cap space from veteran Darius Williams retiring. Rams fans remember last season's defensive back woes that derailed their Super Bowl hopes so general manager less need once proven talent now. They might lose Kobe DeRan, their top corner from 2024, leaving a big gap, relying on rookies from the draft, like at pick number 13. Feels too risky with injuries always lurking. Brown shown in Jacksonville as a seventh-round pick, grabbing two interceptions and 12 pass breakups.

1:05Profla Ball focused ranked him 16th, and passer rating allowed at 73.5 and top 20 overall in coverage grade. As the Matty Stafford era winds down, the Rams see Brown as key insurance for one last title run, but they'll need to move quickly before rivals. Like the 49ers scoop him up.
