The Rams have added a new defensive threat!

Sean McVay hopes that their season will not conclude in the same manner as the last one. The Los Angeles Rams’ early postseason exit was caused by their inability to stop Jared Goff and their poor defense. It appears that the front office is supporting him now by providing Aaron Donald with a second outstanding defender to start with. Due to NFL Free Agency, Kamren Curl is leaving the Washington Commanders and joining the Rams secondary.

Rams Aaron Donald with Sean McVay and NFL Free Agency acquisition Commanders Kamren CurlKamren Curl has agreed to a two-year contract with the Rams, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. He has consistently shown that he is one of the league’s top young safeties, earning a contract worth up to $13 million.

Having him on defense will satisfy coach Sean McVay. He had big plays with the Commanders throughout the 2023 season, which led to big stats. A career-high 115 combined tackles—41 of which were assisted—were part of this. With his overwhelming strength, he can also push a weapon back. This resulted in three tackles for loss.

Like Aaron Donald, when an offensive lineman fails to block his path, he is focused on knocking down a quarterback. This resulted in three quarterback hits for him and a sack as well. The Rams’ safety position is much enhanced by all of this.

Rams’ NFL Free Agency so far

In case it wasn’t evident enough, the Rams are improving their pass protection and defensive unit. The front office signed Darious Williams first, and Curl signed on the spot. With Russ Yeast, Quentin Lake, and Jason Taylor II, they have a reasonably stacked squad at this point. Additionally, the Rams might be planning to make an attempt to reclaim Jordan Fuller and John Johnson III.

Jonah Jackson, Colby Parkinson, and Kevin Dotson have also signed with the front office. which are all capable of shielding and blocking Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Demarcus Robinson, a fresh weapon, was also acquired to aid the team’s air assault. For the Rams, the past few days have been extremely busy. Will they be able to regain the title with these moves?
