The Los Angeles Rams appear to be going all in, as they have brought Kam Curl back on a multi-year deal.
Following the news that the Los Angeles Rams would be bringing back tight end Tyler Higbee on a two-year deal, the team has made another pre-free agency splash.
Secondary standout and safety Kam Curl will remain with the Rams on a three-year deal.
Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo:
"The #Rams and S Kam Curl have agreed on a three-year, $36 million deal with a max value of $39m, sources tell The Insiders. Curl’s last contract paid just under $6 million per year. Now, he more than doubles that number in a deal negotiated by his agency Milk & Honey Sports."
Curl has now landed a three-year, $36 million deal, keeping him through the 2029 season.
This is a smart and huge move for the Rams, as Cul emerged as a solid safety in 2025.
Through 17 games, he secured two interceptions, two sacks, five passes defended, one forced fumble, and 122 total tackles. Curl also gave up one touchdown, a 73.4 completion percentage, and 89.5 completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks.
Curl showcased the kind of skills that the Rams need to improve their fourth-worst 276.0 passing yards per game average in 2025.
Rams improved secondary
With former Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie coming over via a trade, this secondary is starting to look strong.
It will be interesting to see if general manager Les Snead makes more moves in terms of keeping cornerbacks Roger McCreary or Cobie Durant. Both made a case to remain on the team, but the Rams might also be looking at the draft for reinforcements.
The McDuffie trade cost the Rams the No. 29 overall pick, but they still have No. 13. This could lead to the acquisition of LSU's Mansoor Delane or Tennessee's Jermod McCoy, if either is available when Los Angeles is set to pick.
There is also a fellow Tennessean, cornerback Colton Hood, who might be taken in the first round.
The Rams have options, but the recent deals points to the all-in approach the team may be taking for what can be presumed as the last hurrah for Matthew Stafford. He is expected to get a year-to-year contract restructure, but there is a chance he plays past 2026.
Either way, Snead has already made moves to bolster the defense and offense, well before free agency begins.
