Trent McDuffie: Rams' goal bringing me in is the Lombardi Trophy
New Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie says there's no secret about what the Rams hope comes from trading for him: Winning the Super Bowl.

I'm thinking he sits out and I wouldn't blame him. These NFL rookie mandatory contracts are BS especially since the NFL career span for players averages 3 years.
We will know soon enough.
The details of McDuffie's contract extension are available on both OTC and Spotrac for any one interested.
The good news ... for the Rams ... is that his 2026 cap number actually comes down by almost $3M from the previous 5th-year-option amount of $13.6M to the current amount of $10.8M.
Want to acknowledge (once more) that both @PhillyRam and @DzRams were right last week when we debated the 2026 cap implications of McDuffie's extension (signing was announced but not the numbers).
I mistakenly thought that the 5th-year-option just carried-over but its not that simple.
Essentially, the 5th year option is added but the immediate cap-impact (2026) is completely re-worked.

Not a terrible contract, we're tied to him for 2 years basically and can move off it after that if there are any issues. If he performs as expected he's being paid appropriately and if he doesn't we're not tied to this beyond 2 years.
