Rams Acquire Cornerback Roger McCreary in Trade with Titans
The Los Angeles Rams have strengthened their secondary by acquiring cornerback Roger McCreary from the Tennessee Titans. This trade comes just ahead of the NFL trade deadline, which is set for November 4.
Details of the Trade
The Rams executed a pick swap with the Titans. The Titans will receive a fifth-round selection, while the Rams will obtain a sixth-round pick in return. McCreary, 25 years old, is currently in the final year of his rookie contract.
Background on Roger McCreary
- Age: 25
- Draft: Second-round pick from Auburn
- Previous Team: Tennessee Titans
This trade marks the second time that Tennessee’s new management has opted to move a cornerback. Earlier, they traded Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the New York Jets in September.
Impact on the Rams
Roger McCreary is expected to bolster a Rams defense that has faced challenges. The injury to starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who is on injured reserve due to a broken clavicle sustained in Week 2, has left a gap in their defensive lineup. McCreary’s addition aims to improve their defensive strategy as the season progresses.
