Mark Barron seeing orange for game against former NFL team

Los Angeles' Mark Barron is happy the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded him to the Rams. But he didn't like the way the trade blindsided him. So when the Rams meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the former Alabama All-American will be playing with "a little added motivation."

"It's not that big of a deal," Barron said. "But it's a deal."

For the first 37 games of his NFL career, Barron played as the starting strong safety for the Buccaneers, who selected him with the seventh choice in the 2012 NFL Draft.
