Free Agent Spotlight: Cobie Durant's production was an asset to a unique Rams cornerback rotation  

In a unique cornerback rotation, Cobie Durant produced and remained ready all season.

He matched his single-season career high with three interceptions, returning one 50 yards for a touchdown. He played in every regular season and playoff game, starting in all but two of those contests, and had three interceptions across those three postseason games.

Now, Durant is an impending unrestricted free agent with his contract scheduled to expire at the start of the new league year on March 11.

Speaking the day after the NFC Championship Game, Durant said it was too soon to talk about his future, but that if he did come back, he'd want to build on what the secondary accomplished in 2025 and prove critics of the unit wrong.

"Just building off of what we did this year and just making a name for ourselves, because every year, they always say we're a terrible secondary," Durant said.

Re-signing Durant would bring back a durable playmaker in the secondary. Durant had seven interceptions across his first four NFL seasons, while playing in 61 of a possible 68 regular season games during that span.

Besides that durability, Durant also possesses schematic familiarity and inside-outside flexibility. Although Durant played just 36 snaps in the slot last season including playoffs, per Pro Football Focus, he has 689 such snaps over four seasons, along with 1,847 at corner.

Durant is one of three cornerbacks scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, along with Ahkello Witherspoon and Roger McCreary.
