Rams tweets etc. … 5/26 – 6/1

from Mike Sando, My favorite offseason move by every NFL team: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7309904/2026/05/27/nfl-offseason-draft-free-agency-2026/?source=athletic_targeted_email&source=athletic_targeted_email&campaign=18078211&userId=603890

Los Angeles Rams
Acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs

The Rams had to fix their cornerback problem while Matthew Stafford remained in MVP form, which meant it had to be done as soon as possible. The team correctly determined that the top cornerback in the draft, Mansoor Delane, would not be available to the Rams with the 13th pick in the first round.

And so McDuffie became the Rams’ target. Unlike some other players available by trade, McDuffie did not wear out his former team. The Chiefs would have loved to keep him on their roster. They simply decided they were not going to pay him what he commanded from the Rams, given their other commitments.

Sean McVay said figuring out how to fit all of the pieces in the secondary together has a been a “good, positive process.”

McVay said those players are learning all of the spots on the back end of the defense, and that “you’re seeing Trent McDuffie all over” those spots.

There are certain guys that will play just safety or just outside corner, McVay said, but they have a lot of guys who can play safety, star, dime, and money positions

The LA Rams have called the Cleveland Browns about star EDGE Myles Garrett, per a source. The Rams have reportedly offered a "Rickey Williams-esque" type trade for Garrett. The Philadelphia Eagles are also making a strong push, offering WR AJ Brown and more for the star. Craziest… pic.twitter.com/5MpRPyU73f
