Rams Target Watson for McDuffie's Partner

0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Los Angeles Rams made a huge splash last week by trading for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffy and signing him to a big extension. Even with that move, they still need another solid cornerback to pair with him on the outside. Rams coach Sean McBae and GM LesNeed love bringing in players with past connections like former Carlos teammates or NFL buddies. They've done it before with guys from the same schools or teams, hoping that familiarity boosts chemistry on defense. One smart free agency target could be Jalen Watson, McDuffy's longtime chiefs teammate who's hitting the market. Both drafted by Kansas City in 2022. They've played together for years, sharing the secondary and even lining up on the same side at times. Watson's 6 foot 2 frame and long arms give the Rams the size they lack opposite McDuffy. Last season, he ranked high in tackling with a low miss rate and held opponents to a solid

1:01passer rating, though he had more yards allowed this year. But zero touchdowns given up in two seasons. Experts project Watson's next deal around 3 years and 37 to 45 million dollars. Adding him would fix communication issues in the Rams secondary and levers that built in trust for a stronger unit. This story is made possible by our sponsor, see the episode description.
