On March 9th, the Los Angeles Rams have signed cornerback Jalen Watson to a new deal. The former Kansas City Chiefs player, a seventh-round pick, joins his teammate Trent McDuffy in Los Angeles. The contract carries a $7 million cap hit in 2026, jumping to $22 million the next year. If the Rams back out early, it turns into a solid two-year, $34 million guarantee. On top of Watson, the Rams resigned safety cam curl to a three-year pact, traded from McDuffy and extended Quentin Lake less than a year ago. They also have young safety cam kitchens locked in. That gives Los Angeles five dependable defensive backs heading into next season. Defensive coordinator Chris Schulis sees this as a game changer for the secondary, turning a weak spot into a real strength. Experts have praised Watson's skills in both zone and press coverage, highlighting his athleticism from his Washington state days. Watson's pass stands out. He went from working at a Wendy's to earning big in the NFL

after just four pro seasons. Free agency keeps heating up with a draft right around the corner, reminding everyone that gems can come from anywhere in the selection process.
