A key defensive line cog for a program known for producing NFL talent has signed a free agent deal with the Rams.
Iowa defensive tackle Louis Trinca-Pasat, who notched 69 tackles and 6.5 sacks for the Hawkeyes in 2014, is the long Big Ten product among the 15 undrafted free agents reaching deals with St. Louis, the club said Friday.
