Rams Agree to Terms with CB Jaylen Watson to Further Solidify Secondary
Watson signed a three-year, $51 million contract with $34 million guaranteed to strengthen the Rams' secondary after key departures and retirements last season.
- On Mar 9, 2026, the Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with Jaylen Watson, former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback, on a three-year, $51 million contract with $34 million guaranteed.
- Because of retirements and pending free agents, Los Angeles Rams needed outside cornerbacks after three contributors entered free agency and Darious Williams retired, with the Forbes fifth-year option decision due by May.
- A former seventh-round pick, Watson played 868 defensive snaps last year after missing much of 2024 with six games played, and posted career-high production in 2025.
- With Watson added, the Rams' secondary fills the other outside cornerback spot and should help defense match the explosive offense alongside Trent McDuffie and Emmanuel Forbes.
- A week after trading for Trent McDuffie, cornerback from Chiefs, a person with knowledge said deals cannot become official until Wednesday; the McDuffie deal included first-, fourth- and sixth-round picks in 2026 and a 2027 third-round pick, and a four-year, $124 million extension.
