The Kansas City Chiefs are in advanced discussions to trade star cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal is reportedly centered around the Rams sending the No. 29 overall pick and additional draft compensation to Kansas City.
As part of the potential move, McDuffie is expected to negotiate a new contract extension with Los Angeles. The trade would reunite the All-Pro cornerback with Rams assistant coach Jimmy Lake, who previously coached McDuffie during their time together at the University of Washington. Since being drafted in the first round in 2022, McDuffie has emerged as one of the premier defensive backs in the NFL, playing a critical role in the Chiefs' recent championship success.
The departure of McDuffie would represent a significant change for the Chiefs' secondary, while providing the Rams with a lockdown defender to anchor their defense. McDuffie earned First-Team All-Pro honors last season and has been a cornerstone of the Chiefs' defense during their back-to-back Super Bowl runs.
