Emmanuel Forbes Jr. was the wrong draft pick for the Washington Commanders. It didn't take long for general manager Adam Peters to see that once he took charge, but a new opportunity quickly arrived with the Los Angeles Rams.

However, the cornerback's future looks shakier than ever after a blockbuster trade that shook the NFL to its foundations.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Rams are acquiring All-Pro corner Trent McDuffie for significant draft compensation, including the No. 29 overall pick and a third-rounder next year. The player is expected to secure a lucrative long-term commitment immediately, which pushes Forbes further down the pecking order as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.
