The Rams re-signed defensive end William Hayes early in free agency and they’re holding onto another member of their defensive line as well.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Rams have re-signed defensive end Eugene Sims. It’s a three-year deal worth up to $10 million with $3.75 million in guaranteed money.
Sims joined the Rams as a sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft and has been a regular in the lineup since his rookie season. He appeared in 13 games last year, starting nine times, and had 24 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception. He has 9.5 sacks over his entire career.
The Rams now have Hayes and Sims to go with Robert Quinn at the top of the depth chart at defensive end. They released Chris Long before free agency.
