This Puka-Flex T-Shirt Is Illegal In Philly
1. Greg Newsome
Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome has been a staple in their defense and one of the best slot defenders in the NFL, but is also getting reps on the outside. Newsome is set to become a Free Agent in 2026, but could immediately contribute to the Rams’ second secondary.
2. Cam Taylor-Britt
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt has been a playmaker in the league for quite some time. He’s a good man to corner who has an eye for the ball, and his I.Q. aids him in route recognition in zone coverage. The Bengals’ defense has been struggling, but a change of scenery may work wonders for the 4th year player.
3. Amik Robertson
Detroit Lions’ Amik Robertson has made a substantial contribution to the Lions’ secondary. Detroit is known to have a great defense, and Robertson has been a productive player for them. In 2024, he had 50 total tackles that included 4 TFLs, 8 passes defended, and 3 forced fumbles. In 2025, Robertson has amassed 13 Total Tackles, 1 Interception and 2 Passes Defended in five games played. Robertson has played in the slot but also on the outside and could bring versatility to the Rams’ cornerback room.
4. Jamel Dean
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Super Bowl Champion Jamel Dean has been a key piece in the Bucs’ defense. Dean is a speedster, which aids him in keeping up with some of the top wideouts in the NFL. Dean is a physical player and willing tackler who gives ideal run support. Dean excels in zone coverage with good reads on the quarterback and ball Skills.
