LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with Connor Barwin, who will transition back to outside linebacker as part of the 3-4 scheme being implemented by new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
Barwin signed a one-year contract that maxes out at $6.5 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan.
Barwin transitioned to defensive end when the Eagles went to a 4-3 system in 2016, but will return to his roots as an outside linebacker under Phillips, who coached Barwin as the Texans' defensive coordinator from 2011 to '12.
The Barwin signing came hours after the Rams inked Lance Dunbar, who enters as their change-of-pace running back.
