A key member of the Los Angeles Rams’ secondary is heading to the NFC East. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler late Thursday night, Cobie Durant has agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Adam Schefter later reported the terms as being worth up to $5.5 million.
Durant tied for the Rams’ lead with three interceptions during the regular season, matching Emmanuel Forbes Jr.’s total. He then had an NFL-high three interceptions in the playoffs, including a league-best seven pass breakups.
Durant joined the Rams as a fourth-round pick in 2022 out of South Carolina State. The 5-foot-11 corner was a ball hawk with seven regular-season interceptions and four in the playoffs, leading the NFL with 151 interception return yards as a rookie in 2022.

Durant is the second Rams player to leave in free agency this offseason, with his departure coming shortly after Tutu Atwell’s on Thursday. Atwell heads home to Miami with the Dolphins, while Durant lands with the DB-needy Cowboys.
The Rams signed Jaylen Watson in free agency and traded for Trent McDuffie, so they’re much stronger at cornerback, which is why they were probably comfortable letting Durant depart.
