The L.A. Rams could be getting an upgrade at safety after signing Kamren Curl to a two-year contract worth up to $13 million. The 25-year-old Curl started 53 games in four seasons with the Washington Commanders and finished with 115 tackles in 2023. The Rams should have better tackling in the back end, if not better coverage.
2023 starting safety Russ Yeast had a missed tackle rate of 21.8%, second highest in the NFL, with 17 missed against 61 made. Curl only missed nine tackles for a missed rate of 7.3% and he has been a sure tackler since his second year in the NFL.
