"Curl is a big hitter who always brought the energy in Washington and made everyone around him better. The only criticism of him was that he struggled to generate takeaways, but he had his best year since his rookie season in that regard in 2025, with two picks and a forced fumble."
"Everybody during Curl's four seasons in Washington could have told you how valuable he was to the Commanders' defense. His injury at the end of the 2022 campaign might have singlehandedly cost the team a playoff appearance. He's a great tackler who covers well and even brings the occasional pressure."
"The Commanders replaced Curl with Jeremy Chinn, then inexplicably let him walk too and signed Will Harris. Between the Boston College product and struggling 2023 second-round pick Quan Martin, they now have a glaring hole at the safety position."
Kamren Curl, a former Washington Commanders safety, has signed a three-year, $36 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Rams, highlighting a major mistake by Commanders GM Adam Peters. Curl was exceptional for the Rams last season and has played quality football during his two seasons there. The Commanders replaced Curl with Jeremy Chinn, then let him walk as well, signing Will Harris instead. This left the team with a significant gap at safety, with only Boston College product Will Harris and struggling 2023 second-round pick Quan Martin available. Curl was a valuable defensive contributor in Washington, known for his tackling, coverage skills, and ability to generate pressure, making his departure a notable organizational error.
