Los Angeles Rams safety Kam Curl could be in for a big payday this offseason.

The impending free agent had a phenomenal season with the Rams after tallying 122 combined tackles and two interceptions in his second season with the team. But now, he could cash in somewhere else if the Rams don’t want to bring him back.

Underdog’s Hayden Winks thinks Curl would make a great piece for the Cincinnati Bengals defense in 2026. He noted Curl’s acumen as a deep secondary piece who led safeties with 79 combined tackles in 2025.

It would be tough to see Curl go, but the Rams have other areas of need they need to address and pay for, and the team recently re-signed fellow safety Quentin Lake to a long-term deal. Curl, meanwhile, could earn as much as $13 million guaranteed on his next contract.

He’s a veteran player who might not have many more opportunities for big long-term deals, so he’d be smart to take the best offer on the table. Curl joined the Rams on a cheap two-year, $9 million deal in 2024, a contract he certainly outplayed over the course of his time in L.A.
