Mike Garafolo reports that the Rams have made significant progress on a contract extension with recently acquired CB Trent McDuffie.

Garafolo says that McDuffie is expected to become the league’s highest-paid cornerback at $30 million per season.

McDuffie, 25, was a three-year starter at Washington and earned first-team All Pac-12 honors in 2021 and was named All Pac-12 second-team in 2020. The Chiefs traded up and used the No. 21 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft. 

He signed a four-year, $13,992,482 contract that includes a $7,356,350 signing bonus and includes a fifth-year option that was picked up by Kansas City back in April.

The Chiefs traded McDuffie to Los Angeles for a first, fifth, and sixth-round pick.

In 2025, McDuffie appeared in and started 13 games for the Chiefs, recording 63 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, seven pass defenses, and one interception.

We’ll have more on the McDuffie as the news becomes available.
