Rams pick up All-Pro Trent McDuffie in blockbuster trade with Chiefs: report

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded elite CB Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for the 29th overall pick. Colin Cowherd reacts to the news and asks if the Chicago Bears would be the best fit for Maxx Crosby.

As the NFL free agency period looms, the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs have pulled off one of the biggest moves so far this month.

All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie is headed back to his home state of California, according to ESPN. 

The 25-year-old was traded to the Rams from the Chiefs in exchange for a package of future draft picks.

The Rams sent the No. 29 selection in next month's draft to Kansas City and a fifth and sixth rounder in 2026. The Chiefs also reportedly picked up a third round pick in the 2027 draft.

The pending move brings to mind a prediction McDuffie hinted at before last season began. At a back-to-school event in August 2025, the defensive back said he wouldn’t mind joining the Rams if he were no longer with the Chiefs.

"You're going to get me in trouble," he said as he smiled. "Let's think. If I could play for another team, I'd probably want to play close to my family, so that would probably be the LA Rams so that my family could come see every single game."
