The Kansas City Chiefs are making a rebuilding move, while the Los Angeles Rams have strengthened their secondary in a major way.
Kansas City and Los Angeles are in deep talks for a trade involving Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie, NFL Media reported Wednesday. As part of the deal, the Rams will reportedly send their 2026 first-round pick (No. 29 overall). Los Angeles will also give Kansas City three more picks, surrendering its fifth-round pick and sixth-round pick in the 2026 draft plus its third-round pick in the 2027 draft, according to ESPN.
McDuffie, 25, has been one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks since the Chiefs selected him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He helped Kansas City win back-to-back Super Bowls in his first two seasons and has been named an All-Pro twice.
However, McDuffie is entering the final season of his rookie contract and hasn’t signed an extension yet. As a result, some speculated that he would be a trade candidate this offseason, especially as Kansas City looks to reshape its roster following its disappointing 6-11 season.
This is a developing story and will be updated. Â
