  "account": "The Los Angeles Rams may have their cornerback Emmanuel Forbes available for trade before the November 10 deadline. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Forbes could be a candidate for the Rams to move, as they have made significant signings in Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and decided against renewing Forbes' fifth-year contract. Forbes took a backseat to McDuffie and Watson in the Rams' revamped secondary, playing in all eight games this season but not starting once. His defensive involvement has decreased from 73% in 2025 to just 25% this year. Forbes has accumulated nine tackles and two pass interceptions this season. His best performance came last year, when he was the top pick of the Washington Commanders in 2023, starting 14 out of 17 games, intercepting three passes, recording 18 pass breakups, and amassing 45 tackles and a forced fumble. With a crowded cornerback lineup, including the rise of nickel defender Josh Wallace, Forbes has little chance of getting consistent playing time unless McDuffie or Watson become injured. The Rams might trade Forbes for draft capital if another team shows interest.",
  "summary": "Emmanuel Forbes has seen his playing time drop tremendously this year and might be an expendable asset for the Rams.",
