Los Angeles has completed a major trade with Kansas City, bringing All-Pro defensive back Trent McDuffie to the Rams in exchange for significant draft capital, according to ESPN’s Wednesday report.
Kansas City will receive Los Angeles’ 29th selection in the 2026 NFL Draft as the centerpiece of the deal, along with the team’s fifth and sixth-round choices that same year and a third-round selection in 2027.
Despite trading away the late first-round pick, Los Angeles retains the 13th overall selection in 2026, which they obtained from Atlanta in a draft-day swap this past April.
The 25-year-old McDuffie is anticipated to ink a long-term contract extension with his new team, ESPN reports.
During the most recent season, McDuffie appeared in 13 contests as a starter, compiling 63 total tackles while adding one interception and forcing a fumble.
Since Kansas City selected him 21st overall in the 2022 draft, the two-time championship winner has started all 56 games of his professional career, accumulating 246 tackles, 5.5 quarterback sacks, 34 defended passes, and three picks. He earned All-Pro recognition following the 2023 campaign.
