If The Rams trade for Brown, how interesting, and THAT will be news, but if the Rams \u201cmonitor\u201d the situation, that\u2019s status quo. That\u2019s what the Rams do. They consider every option that can make their team better. Every NFL team should.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s Saturday, people gotta write what they gotta write (I do as well!), so no hate here, just not sure there is much to report on the Brown saga until there is something to report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times, let\u2019s enjoy our weekend and go from there!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cEven though the volume of trade chatter around A.J. Brown has quieted down after the first few days of free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles star is still on the radar for teams looking to add a high-level wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Per The Athletic\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DMRussini\/status\/2032471339534070062?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dianna Russini<\/a>, the Los Angeles Rams are continuing to \u201cmonitor\u201d Brown\u2019s status as the Eagles weigh their options going into the 2026 season.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWOODLAND HILLS, Ca. There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Rams made the right move to trade for and then extend cornerback Trent McDuffie. An All-Pro with multiple Super Bowl rings before the age of 24, McDuffie is a baller, and after his opening presser, it\u2019s clear why the team wanted to invest so much into him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If the Rams just traded for him, that would\u2019ve been one thing, but they also handed him a record-setting contract to keep him with the team for the next five seasons.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cAdding McDuffie cost the Rams a ton. They sent pick No. 29, a fifth and sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and a 2027 third-rounder to acquire McDuffie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Then, a few days later, they agreed to a mammoth $124 million four-year contract extension to keep him around in Los Angeles for a few more years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">All-in-all, the Rams spent a first, third, fifth, and sixth round pick to acquire McDuffie, and then handed him a $124 million extension worth $31 million per-year.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThe secondary is MILES better than last year. Now let\u2019s add the finishing touches. I think the Rams will still draft a CB in the first 3 rounds, and more and more I\u2019m hoping to see Sonny Styles as our first pick. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll last until pick 13, but if he does, I can see the Rams being in the top 3 defenses both against the pass AND the run.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turfshowtimes.com\/los-angeles-rams-news\/136306\/la-rams-news-watson-mcduffie-nfl?commentID=4aeb39ba-a422-4206-ada2-abc357ce5c0a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">-JeffinBranson<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brown is a difference maker, so when a player like Brown is potentially available, a team should do&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,4200,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-811958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangelesrams","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-rams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116227877273128036","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
