The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a major trade with the Los Angeles Rams, sending All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to Los Angeles.
The Chiefs will get four draft picks, including the 29th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, ESPN Adam Schefter claimed it on Wednesday March 4, 2026.
According to Schefter, in addition to the first-round pick, the Chiefs will also receive fifth- and sixth-round selections in this year’s draft, as well as a third-round pick in 2027.
McDuffie is expected to sign a long-term contract extension with the Rams.
The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2026 draft with two first-round selections, including the 13th overall pick, which they acquired in a previous trade with the Atlanta Falcons.
This is the second time in three years that Kansas City has traded away a top cornerback rather than signing him to a big contract.
In 2024, the Chiefs send L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans.
The Chiefs also face a potential hole in their secondary, with cornerback Jaylen Watson set to become a free agent next week.
