Rams Re-sign Safety Kam Curl: Boosting Defense

0:00For the NFL, it's March 6, and here's what's going on. The Los Angeles Rams are bringing back safety, Cam Curle on a three-year deal, worth $36 million, including $24 million in guarantees. A source familiar with the talks confirmed the news before the team's official announcement. Curle has been a cornerstone of their defense over the past two seasons. He started 33 of the Rams last 34 games, piling up 201 tackles and two interceptions. Last year marked his best season yet with a career high 122 tackles, shining both against the past and in run support. Curle also came up big in the playoffs, including a key overtime pick that helped beat Chicago. Curle made it clear he wanted to stay with the Rams after their close loss in the NFC Championship to Seattle. The former seventh-round pick spent his first four years in Washington before joining Los Angeles on a two-year $9 million pact. Now in year six, he has five career interceptions and eight sacks.

They also traded for Kansas City cornerback Trent McDuffy, sending overdraft picks including a second first-round choice next month. This bolsters their secondary with Curle, Lake, and McDuffy, addressing a weak spot and setting up a stronger defense for next season. Before for this Dean, an episode comes from our sponsor.
