The Los Angeles Rams lost two key pieces of their defense on Wednesday but were able to retain two as well.
After losing cornerback Janoris Jenkins and safety Rodney McLeod to the Giants and Eagles, respectively, the Rams agreed to contracts with safety/linebacker Mark Barron and defensive end William Hayes.
Barron agreed to a five-year, $45 million deal to remain with the team, a source told ESPN's Ed Werder, and Hayes agreed to a three-year deal worth $21 million maximum, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.
Barron, 26, was a breakout star for the Rams in 2015, especially after he replaced injured linebacker Alec Ogletree on the weak side.
