Originally selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, the former Arkansas product began his career with the Washington Commanders competing for a backup spot against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/03\/14\/washington-commanders-roster-update-retaining-all-pro-jeremy-reaves-and-releasing-j-d-mckissic-amid-injury-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jeremy Reaves<\/a>, Cole Luke and Troy Apke. After making his professional debut, Curl made promising strides while recording 66 solo tackles, two sacks, four pass deflections, three interceptions and a touchdown in 16 games.<\/p>\n<p>Curl couldn&#8217;t replicate the same success in the following campaign, but he still put up a season-high of ten combined tackles and five pass deflections. Since the Commanders are building a new culture with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/13\/dan-quinn-gets-help-as-the-washington-commanders-go-all-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">head coach Dan Quinn<\/a>, and even though Curl recorded a career-high of 115 combined tackles, it wasn&#8217;t enough for the Commanders to compensate for a new contract, since the new sheriff in town built around the secondary with Quan Martin and Will Harris. Curl continued to impress, but the Rams don&#8217;t have a lot of players on their roster to sell for draft picks in return. However, since they were willing to trade their first-round pick this year, they could be fine with Quentin Lake and a youngster for the safety department, while the Rams could trade Curl to these four teams.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_196301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-196301\" style=\"width: 821px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-196301\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"821\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-1024x754.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-1536x1131.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/USATSI_24543595-2048x1508.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-196301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oct 20, 2024; Inglewood, California, USA; Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (89) catches a pass with Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Curl (3) defending during the first half at SoFi Stadium.

While they&#8217;re looking into Jaire Alexander after his release, the team is better off getting a capable safety that can help <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/20\/malaki-starks-2025-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">2025 draft pick Malaki Starks<\/a>. Kyle Hamilton is one of the league&#8217;s best upcoming safeties, but even he needs a capable counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>Curl might not be the best available safety, but if the Rams are willing to trade him, the Ravens could bring out the best in him.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>The Los Angeles Chargers&#8217; secondary unit will look dramatically different this upcoming season after losing Kristian Fulton. The team made up for it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/44195923\/sources-chargers-donte-jackson-reach-2-year-13m-deal#:~:text=The%20Los%20Angeles%20Chargers%20and,%2C%20won&#039;t%20be%20back.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signing Donte Jackson<\/a> and Benjamin St-Juste to give the Chargers&#8217; secondary a fighting chance. While the team doesn&#8217;t need a starting safety, they could use some more depth behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2018\/04\/21\/oakland-raiders-should-draft-derwin-james-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Derwin James<\/a> and Alohi Gilman. Curl doesn&#8217;t have to start to make an impact, but these new potential starting three could be helpful to provide stability.<\/p>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs will have to figure out how to transition from <a href=\"https:\/\/arrowheadaddict.com\/justin-reid-leaves-chiefs-for-a-free-agency-homecoming-with-new-three-year-deal-01jp1ensqkcc#:~:text=After%20three%20seasons%20with%20the,to%20NFL%20reporter%20Adam%20Schefter.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">losing Justin Reid<\/a>, similar to the team losing L&#8217;Jarius Sneed last offseason. While it worked out for Trent McDuffie, it&#8217;s better to safe safe and add more depth behind Bryan Cook and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/04\/13\/jaden-hicks-2024-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jaden Hicks<\/a>. Mike Edwards is way past his prime, and Curl provides more long-term relief.<\/p>\n<h4>Washington Commanders<\/h4>\n<p>However, no one should rule out a possible reunion. The Commanders are in the best possible spot to win a championship, and they should continue to strengthen the chemistry rather than destroying it. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/04\/16\/breaking-seven-time-pro-bowl-versatile-weapon-jalen-ramsey-on-trade-block\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Quan Martin<\/a> is playing at a high level, but the presence of Curl could make this unit explosive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent reports suggest the Los Angeles Rams could trade this former Washington Commander before the season starts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":236228,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,10,16,18,34,8896],"tags":[7992,7723,7642,7811,33069,32494,3788,8712,7466,7429,7473,7638,8996],"class_list":["post-236224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-ravens","category-chiefs","category-chargers","category-rams","category-washington-commanders","tag-ardarius-washington","tag-baltimore-ravens-news","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-derwin-james-jr","tag-jaden-hicks","tag-justin-reid","tag-kamren-curl","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","tag-los-angeles-chargers-news","tag-los-angeles-rams-news","tag-ravens-featured","tag-washington-commanders-news"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236224"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236229,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236224\/revisions\/236229"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
