Rams Secure Secondary with Curl's $36M Re-Signing

The Los Angeles Rams have re-signed safety Kam Curl to a three-year, $36 million contract, ESPN sources confirmed. This move comes just days after the Rams traded for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, signaling a major investment in their secondary. Curl's deal follows his breakout 2025 season where he set career highs in tackles.

Curl, 26, joined the Rams in 2024 after four seasons with the Commanders, where he was drafted in the seventh round of 2020. His standout moment came in the divisional playoff round against Chicago, intercepting Caleb Williams in overtime to set up the game-winning field goal. Over his career, Curl has accumulated five interceptions, eight sacks, and 28 passes defensed in 93 regular-season games.

This re-signing represents the Rams' second major defensive move this week, following the McDuffie trade that cost them the No. 29 pick in the 2026 draft. By locking up Curl alongside McDuffie, Los Angeles is building a formidable secondary core. The moves suggest the Rams are prioritizing immediate defensive upgrades over draft capital as they aim to return to championship contention.
