The Rams lost cornerback Janoris Jenkins and safety Rodney McLeod to open free agency, but they’ve been able to hold onto several of their other free agents.
Linebacker Mark Barron and defensive end William Hayes will be joined in Los Angeles by wide receiver Brian Quick, center Tim Barnes and safety Cody Davis.
Quick’s agent announced that his client will remain with the Rams on a one-year deal. The 2012 second-round pick played in 13 games last season after being limited to seven outings in 2014 because of a shoulder injury, but never made much of an impact while catching 10 passes for 102 yards. He joins Kenny Britt and Tavon Austin at wideout for the Rams.
Barnes and Davis both signed two-year deals. Barnes started all 16 games for the Rams last season, his fourth with the team and his first as a permanent member of the first team. His return would allow the Rams to keep the same starting line in place in 2016, although there figures to be competition to ensure that those five are the best five.
Davis has seen action in 43 games over the last three years for the Rams and most of it has come on special teams, which will likely be the case again in 2016.
