The trade and a deal could become official in 2 days at the beginning of the new NFL year.<\/p>\n<p>Trent was entering the final campaign of his rookie contract. Last year, Kansas City exercised its 5th-year option, making his salary over 13.5 million this year fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>McDuffie will now make much more than that as his new contract pays him 31 million dollars per year. That\u2019s more than Indianapolis CB Sauce Gardner and Houston\u2019s CB Derek Stingley Jr., as both earn 1 million dollar less than him annually.<\/p>\n<p>CB was a priority for Los Angeles starting free agency and the draft, as they had 4 pending free agents as cornerbacks.
