The Chiefs traded Trent McDuffie to the Rams for the 29th overall pick plus three other selections, ending a Giants bid to add the cornerback. New York had been in discussions but with the deal done, they’ll need to pivot to other corner options or free agents (potential targets include Chiefs teammate Jaylen Watson).
The Los Angeles Rams acquired All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a package that includes a 2026 first-round pick (No. 29) plus a 2026 fifth- and sixth-round pick, while the Rams also send a 2027 third-round pick to KC; McDuffie, a 2022 first-rounder and 2023 All-Pro, heads to his hometown team and is expected to sign a long-term deal with LA.
The Rams agreed to trade for Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie, sending the 29th overall pick in this year’s draft plus 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks and a 2027 third-round pick to Kansas City. McDuffie, a 2023 first-team All-Pro and 2024 second-team All-Pro, is due $13.6 million this season after KC exercised his fifth-year option, and the Rams are expected to sign him to a long-term deal, upgrading a secondary that GM Les Snead has aimed to improve.
A Chiefs-focused digest questions Trent McDuffie’s status as a top slot corner, noting that despite a 2023 All-Pro claim, 2024 numbers (102 targets, 62 completions on 661 yards, six TDs, 91.2 passer rating) and 11 penalties don’t back elite production, so a trade to the Rams doesn’t make sense; the roundup also touches on other NFL offseason rumors and moves.
The Kansas City Chiefs and cornerback Trent McDuffie have not reached a contract extension agreement before the season, with McDuffie planning to play on his current deal, while the team has exercised his fifth-year option. Despite this, there is potential for an extension later in the season, especially considering McDuffie's recent All-Pro honors and strong performance.

Pro Football Focus has started releasing its annual list of the NFL's top 50 players for 2024, with Kansas City Chiefs' guard Joe Thuney ranked 39th and cornerback Trent McDuffie at 36th. Both players were not on last year's list but have shown significant performance, with Thuney excelling in pass-blocking and McDuffie being a versatile and underrated cornerback. More Chiefs players, including Creed Humphrey, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Chris Jones, are expected to appear in the higher ranks.
The Kansas City Chiefs effectively shut down Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, holding him to just three receptions for 28 yards. Defensive back Trent McDuffie credited their success to disrupting Jefferson's timing and making it difficult for quarterback Kirk Cousins to find him. The Chiefs' strong defensive performance bodes well for their future games and could help establish them as the top team in the NFL.
Chris Jones has confirmed that he missed the ring ceremony due to being sick, ending speculation. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill is hoping to reach 2,000 receiving yards this season and cement his Hall of Fame case, while Patrick Mahomes remains the greatest quarterback in the Chiefs' history. The Chiefs also have two versatile defensive backs in Trent McDuffie and L'Jarius Sneed, providing matchup flexibility for their defense.
