Overview
- The team made the decision official through the NFL personnel notice at the option deadline.
- Exercising the option would have locked in a fully guaranteed $12.6 million salary for 2027.
- Forbes, the 16th pick in 2023, was waived by Washington in December 2024 and then claimed by Los Angeles.
- He started 14 games in 2025 with 45 tackles, three interceptions, 18 passes defensed and a forced fumble, yet he logged only 29 defensive snaps across the Rams’ last two playoff games.
- Los Angeles rebuilt the cornerback group by adding Trent McDuffie on a record extension and Jaylen Watson on a three-year, $51 million deal, as Forbes enters the final year of his rookie contract with a $2.8 million cap hit.
