Free agent corner Roger McCreary has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions on a one-year deal, per source.
McCreary started 38 games for Tennessee before traded to the Rams last season.
The Rams acquired McCreary in a trade with the Tennessee Titans, also getting a 2026 conditional 6th-round pick and giving up a 2026 conditional 5th-round pick.
While it appeared LA would use the cornerback in the 2025 season, he was used more as a special team specialist. The CB recorded 4 tackles in 6 games with the organization. McCreary logged 1 interception, 3 pass deflections, 1 sack and 33 in his 8 games with Tennessee this past season.
The first two seasons of Roger McCreary’s career were his best. The defender had 2 interceptions and 16 pass deflections. Now joining the Lions, the cornerback looks to return to his old ways.
Rams Lose Another Member of the Secondary

Roger McCreary isn’t the only member of the Los Angeles Rams cornerback group to leave the organization.
Cobie Durant signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys, leaving the team after four seasons.
“Just getting a chance to come to Dallas and add to the secondary, a room full of playmakers, and just bring what I know in being in this league for four years to add on with… everybody else in that room. Just to come in and make plays,” Durant said about joining the team, via the Cowboys.
“I’m ready to attack this game and allow them to help me improve, and push them to push me.”
Durant was a key starter the last two seasons and helped the Rams’ defense in the team’s latest playoff run, having the most interceptions in the 2025 postseason.
Despite the losses of Roger McCreary and Cobie Durant, Los Angeles can be seen as the winners of the offseason so far, with the notable moves they made in the defensive backfield.
Rams Get New Cornerback Partnership
Trent McDuffie
GettyLA will have one of the best partnership duos in the 2026 season
The Los Angeles Rams made a blockbuster trade in acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs, but weren’t done adding to the secondary room.
LA signed Jaylen Watson to a three-year, $51 million deal to reunite with McDuffie, who were teammates on the Chiefs.
Now paired with Rams head coach Sean McVay and defensive coordinator Chris Shula, turns a strong defense even stronger.
“I don’t think I’m coming in here with a team that doesn’t understand the value that they have,” McDuffie said in his introductory press conference, via the Rams
“I’m going to do everything I can for them. Because that’s the end goal. I know it’s the end goal here, bringing me in, is the Lombardi Trophy. So everything we can do to bring it back to the city would be what I’m going to do.”
