The Los Angeles Rams’ secondary is undergoing some big changes.
The Rams on Tuesday traded Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens. The Rams are receiving linebacker Kenny Young and a 2020 draft pick in return.
Peters had 14 tackles and two interceptions this season, including one returned for a touchdown. The 26-year-old is set to be a free agent after the season, so it’s clear the Rams were not planning to offer him a long-term extension.
In addition to losing Peters, the Rams placed Aqib Talib on IR this week with a rib injury.
Young, a 4th-round pick last year, has 11 tackles this season.
Baltimore’s secondary now has some extra depth too.
The Ravens now have Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith (recovering from MCL injury), Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Carr, Maurice Canady, Anthony Averett, Cyrus Jones and Justin Bethel at CB (not to mention Iman Marshall and Tavon Young on IR)
