The Los Angeles Rams are signing two-time Super Bowl champion cornerback Jaylen Watson to a three-year, $51 million contract, according to Tom Pelissero of The Insiders. The deal marks a significant addition to the Rams' secondary as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The agreement includes $34 million in guaranteed money for Watson. The contract was negotiated by Collin Roberts of Excel Football. Watson joins the Rams with a proven track record of postseason success, having played a key role in securing two championships with his previous team.
The Rams have been focused on bolstering their defensive backfield, and the acquisition of Watson provides them with a physical, experienced starter. At an average annual value of $17 million, the contract reflects Watson's value as a top-tier defensive asset in the league.
