Rams keep stealing Chiefs' defensive backs with huge Jaylen Watson contract

The Los Angeles Rams seem to be all in on whatever Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is cooking. After getting Trent McDuffie in a trade, Les Snead identified cornerback Jaylen Watson as the next player he was going to hand a boatload of cash in his quest to keep the Rams in the Super Bowl hunt.

Just a few days after agreeing to trade a package led by the No. 29 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chiefs in exchange for McDuffie, the Rams agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract that will entice Watson to leave the Midwest for the bright lights of LA.
