Rams Best Fit for Saints' Free Agent Cornerback Alontae Taylor

ESPN analyst Matt Bowen says the Rams are the ideal landing spot for Saints’ top free‑agent cornerback Alontae Taylor, who could bring speed and versatility to their secondary.

Alontae Taylor, the Saints’ top free‑agent defensive back, is expected to attract significant interest in early March. Bowen ranked the Rams as the best fit, citing their need for speed in the secondary after the NFC Championship loss.

Taylor’s two interceptions in 2025 and his ability to play both outside and in the slot make him a high‑risk, high‑reward addition. In a system with established talent, the Rams could maximize his strengths while mitigating his occasional coverage lapses.
