Rams Boldly Upgrade Defense with McDuffie Trade

On March 21st, the Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for another strong run with quarterback Matthew

Stafford announcing he's back for one more season.

In a major offseason move, they traded for all pro-cornerback Trent McDuffy from the Kansas

City Chiefs, handing him a four-year extension, worth one, $124 million.

The deal cost the Rams their first round pick, plus third, fifth, and sixth round selections,

making it one of their boldest plays yet to bolster the defense.

Last season's playoffs expose weaknesses in the Rams secondary during a tough loss to

the Seattle Seahawks, where the cornerbacks couldn't contain.

The offense led by Sam Darnold.

Experts agree this upgrade addresses the key flaw head-on, with NFL.com ranking the

trade among the top ten best offseason decisions league-wide.

Now with McDuffy locking down the backfield, the Rams let primed to push deeper into the

playoffs and chase that elusive, next Super Bowl.
