Taylor Eyes Rams as Top Free‑Agent Destination

Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor, a top free‑agent defensive back, is expected to be a hot commodity in March, with the Rams seen as the best fit by ESPN analyst Matt Bowen.

Alontae Taylor, the Saints’ 2025 starter, has become the highest‑ranked defensive back on ESPN’s top 50 free‑agent list. Analysts predict he will attract significant interest once free agency opens in early March.

Matt Bowen identified the Rams as the ideal landing spot, citing their need for speed in the secondary after the NFC Championship loss. Taylor’s versatility—capable of playing outside or in the slot—could give the Rams the polish and coverage depth they lack.
