Rams named best fit for speedy free agent Saints cornerback

The Los Angeles Rams are heading into the 2026 offseason with the very clear goal of bolstering their Super Bowl-caliber roster.

With Matthew Stafford's return, there is no reason why the Rams shouldn't go all-in this offseason. Whether it's free agents, trades, or draft picks, now is the time for the Rams to make a Super Bowl push.

Cornerback is a top need to address, and for ESPN's Matt Bowen, speedy New Orleans Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor's best fit would be with the Rams this offseason.

"The Rams' lack of speed in the secondary -  which showed up in their NFC Championship game loss to the Seahawks - must be addressed this offseason," Bowen writes. "Taylor, who had two interceptions with the Saints in 2025, would provide the Rams a versatile corner with disruptive traits and the ability to play outside or in the slot."

While the Rams could go after a lot of different free agent and trade targets at cornerback this offseason, Taylor might be one of the best options.

He's a speedster, running a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, and with 59 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 passes defended this season, he's a cornerback worth investing in.

What makes Taylor such a great option is that he's not just a solid coverage corner; he's a willing tackler, can stick with speedy players, and can also generate pressure as a pass rusher.

Taylor had two sacks this season and four in 2024. While he might not be the superstar cornerback that gets talked about like the best in the league, Taylor is the exact kind of veteran option the Rams need this offseason.

The 27-year-old cornerback should be a priority for the Rams this offseason. Bowen named the Rams Taylor's best fit this offseason, and with how badly the Rams need a cornerback, this fit makes all the sense in the world.
