They really don\u2019t like each other, something Jared Verse made very clear recently when he <a href=\"http:\/\/theramswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/rams\/2026\/02\/13\/rams-seahawks-jared-verse-hate-players-quote\/88661439007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared his \u201cdisdain\u201d<\/a> for the Rams\u2019 rival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Apparently, Jaxon Smith-Njigba doesn\u2019t like the Rams\u2019 cornerbacks very much, either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While attending the UFC Fight Night event over the weekend, Smith-Njigba was asked which cornerback he\u2019d want to get in the octagon with. He said there are a \u201ccouple guys\u201d he\u2019d want to fight, but specifically mentioned anyone from the Rams or 49ers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cDefinitely not Devon Witherspoon. He\u2019s a wild guy,\u201d Smith-Njigba said. \u201cYou know, there\u2019s a couple guys out there. Anyone from the L.A. Rams or the San Francisco 49ers, you know what I\u2019m saying, I\u2019d happily get in the ring with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Smith-Njigba probably doesn\u2019t have anyone specific in mind when picking out the Rams and 49ers, especially considering L.A.\u2019s cornerback group is vastly different now than it was last season. Darious Williams retired, Cobie Durant, Roger McCreary and Derion Kendrick all left in free agency, and so did Ahkello Witherspoon.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Now, Smith-Njigba will have to deal with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson every time he faces the Rams, which is a much tougher test. He shouldn\u2019t want to get in the octagon with either of those tough, physical corners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 30, 2026, 6:21 a.m. PT The rivalry between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks runs deep.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":842903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,95878,7,6,1161,252,2624,2623,95922,95923,98576,95882,95946,96029,97266,97265,109537,100249,97264,96812,111584,95924,108694,95897,97037,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-842902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-accessfree","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","14":"tag-sanfrancisco","15":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers","16":"tag-sstssportsnflrams","17":"tag-sstsnrams","18":"tag-tagahkello-witherspoon","19":"tag-tagamerican-football","20":"tag-tagcalifornia-gold-rush","21":"tag-tagcbs-corp","22":"tag-tagcobie-durant","23":"tag-tagdarious-williams","24":"tag-tagderion-kendrick","25":"tag-tagdevon-witherspoon","26":"tag-tagjared-verse","27":"tag-tagjaxon-smith-njigba","28":"tag-tagjaylen-watson","29":"tag-taglos-angeles-rams","30":"tag-tagmartial-arts","31":"tag-tagoverall-negative","32":"tag-tagroger-mccreary","33":"tag-tagsports-news","34":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842902","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=842902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/842903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=842902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=842902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=842902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
