This is different.
This group has underperformed badly this year and the team is likely to be eliminated due to them. On top of that 4 of this group may be gone this offseason.
2026 offseason will bring a corner overhaul. Bank it.
I don’t go back and study film after the games but one thing I remember is that Forbes and Durant are advertised as good zone coverage CBs. I believe they’re asked to do a lot of man coverage, which is not their skill set. Can anyone elaborate on that?
I've always been a big Darious Williams fan.. but he's undersized, 32, and has been injured.
Cut him and use the money for one CB FA.. I'm thinking McCreary is worth keeping as well.
Move on from Durant.
Keep Forbes to compete and for depth.
Draft one CB in the first two rounds.. and draft another in the late-mid rounds.
Any FA signing and draft picks need to be bigger and more physical.
It would be great to get *excellent* corners.. but this team would be that much better with just decent corners, imo.
That's one of the reasons I'd be okay trading back with one of those first rounders.
I'd like a CB, C, OT and WR taken in the first two rounds, if possible.

Well said, esp. the bigger CBs. I would love me some Riq Woolen, Alontae Taylor or Jaylen Watson. Then draft one in 2nd round.
I'd like a better center in the draft or another FA like stud center Tyler Lindenbaum (Ravens).
For anyone advocating for resigning McCreary keep in mind that he's mainly a nickel CB.
He played some out wide his first two seasons but then transitioned full time to the slot the last two seasons. The Rams have stuck with that role for him. Per PFF, 90% of his snaps with the Rams have been in the slot.
Most of the time the Rams have Lake taking the slot snaps, and his versatility is a large part of his value, so I doubt Lake's role changes much going forward. Which leaves the question of is there space for McCreary given his skill set.
I’d say we should take 2-3 corners in the draft and sign 1-2 more in FA.
I trust McVay and Snead to make the correct decisions on who to bring in.

Very well aware.. and what you laid out is actually the argument for keeping him.
Just enough versatility on the outside and inside. With a FA outside corner, a drafted outside corner and Forbes.. McCreary is my 4th Corner.
Experienced depth is important and he'll have had a part of a season and an entire offseason in the system in this scenario.
Ah, I see your plan. That will be an expensive 4th CB. Spotrac projects his new contract will be $12.3 mil.

I would, but this seems to be their Achilles heel. Lots of whiffs, esp. in the FA market.
Tre’Davious White (improved back w/ Bills); Darius Williams (part deux), Ahkello Witherspoon (part deux); Tre Brown, Derion Kendrick, Jerry Jacobs. Note: Kam Curl was a good safety pickup.
