Los Angeles currently relies on a rotation of Decobie Durant, Darius Williams, Emmanuel Forbes, Tre Brown, and Josh Wallace, with veteran Ahkello Witherspoon still working back from injury. While the group has held its own, it lacks the kind of shutdown presence needed for a deep postseason run. Russini’s report underscores the urgency in Los Angeles. With Stafford’s future uncertain and a legitimate shot at another Lombardi Trophy, general manager Les Snead is expected to be aggressive. The Rams are one of the few contenders with two first-round picks to leverage — a luxury that could help them land a true difference-maker. Potential Trade Targets Emerging Across the league, several cornerbacks are believed to be available. The Jets’ Michael Carter II and Titans’ Roger McCreary are both viewed as realistic trade options, while other names like Cam Taylor-Britt of the Bengals and Alontae Taylor of the Saints could also draw interest. Taylor-Britt, just 26, was recently benched despite tallying seven interceptions across his past two seasons, and may benefit from a change of scenery. Taylor, meanwhile, has allowed just 5.5 yards per target this year and could slot in as an immediate starter opposite Williams. Snead and McVay Eye Familiar Formula The Rams have been here before. Their 2021 Super Bowl run was fueled by midseason trades for Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., both of whom made critical contributions. With the 2025 trade deadline approaching on Nov. 4, history could repeat itself — and Los Angeles once again looks ready to go all in.
