Rams send unmistakable message to NFL with Jaylen Watson's contract details

For anyone not paying attention, the Los Angeles Rams made their offseason intentions clear. Days after trading for cornerback Trent McDuffie, they signed his Kansas City Chiefs teammate, cornerback Jaylen Watson, to a reported three-year, $51 million deal in free agency.

To the rest of the NFL: Les Snead is all-in.

Rams general manager Les Snead made that message plain as could be with two massive moves to address an ailing Rams secondary. That expected extension for McDuffie? Count it. The Rams will reportedly give the former All-Pro a four-year, $124 million contract, the most lucrative ever for a cornerback.
