Los Angeles Rams cornerback Darious Williams has retired after eight NFL seasons.

The Rams on ​Saturday announced that they ‌had placed Williams on the reserve/retired list.

That move comes on the heels of Wednesday’s reports that Los Angeles ‌agreed ​to acquire All-Pro cornerback ⁠Trent McDuffie from ⁠the Kansas City Chiefs in a blockbuster trade that includes the 29th overall pick of ​the 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs reportedly also would receive ⁠the Rams’ fifth- ⁠and sixth-round selections in ​that draft as well as a ​third-round pick in 2027.

Williams, who turns ‌33 on March 15, spent six of his eight seasons with Los Angeles over two ⁠stints. He also was a member of the Super Bowl LVI-winning Rams team ⁠during ‌the 2021 season.

He had ⁠25 tackles and one ​interception ‌in 12 games (three starts) last ​season with ⁠Los Angeles.

Williams totaled 306 tackles and 12 interceptions in 104 career games (69 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars and Rams.
