2025 Fantasy Outlook
McDuffie hasn't missed a regular-season game in two years and followed up his All-Pro campaign in 2023 with second-team All-Pro honors in 2024. Having transformed into one of the league's better No. 1 cornerbacks under Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs' decision to pick up McDuffie's fifth-year option and extend his rookie deal through 2026 comes as no surprise. Another solid showing in 2025 will essentially guarantee McDuffie a massive second contract, providing extra motivation beyond Kansas City's usual Super Bowl aspirations. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $13.99 million contract with the Chiefs in May of 2022. Traded to the Rams in May of 2026.
Traded to Rams in blockbuster deal
The Chiefs have agreed to terms Wednesday on a trade that sends McDuffie (knee) to the Rams in exchange for a package that includes the No. 29 overall pick, in the 2026 NFL Draft, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
McDuffie will immediately provide a significant boost to Los Angeles' defense as the team works to maximize the remainder of Matthew Stafford's tenure, while also providing salary cap relief for Kansas City. The Chiefs' full return includes Los Angeles' first-, fifth- and sixth-round picks in April's draft, as well as a third-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. A two-time Super Bowl champion and 2023 first-team All-Pro selection, McDuffie is still entering just his age-26 season and is expected to ink a new long-term deal with the Rams, per Schefter. He was limited to just 13 regular-season appearances in 2025 due to a knee injury, but there have been no indications that the issue may impede McDuffie's offseason participation.

2022
Entering just the third year of his rookie deal with the Chiefs, McDuffie starred in his second campaign in Kansas City, racking up 80 tackles (60 solo), three sacks and five forced fumbles en route to first-team All-Pro honors. He heads into 2024 locked into a starting role, and the departure of L'Jarius Sneed places McDuffie at the head of the Chiefs' cornerback class, which could mean he'll face the opposing team's best pass catchers more often this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks on hold
McDuffie isn't expected to sign a contract extension with Kansas City before the start of the season, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two sides have been engaged in talks as McDuffie prepares to play on the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2025, but with Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley having radically shifted the top of the cornerback market this offseason, reaching an agreement became difficult. Kansas City already exercised the fifth-year option on McDuffie's deal, so he's under team control through at least 2026. The 2022 first-round pick set a career high with 13 passes defended over 16 regular-season games last season, including his first two NFL interceptions, while emerging as one of the top press-man CBs in the league.
