Leading up to the start of free agency, the Los Angeles Rams knew one of the toughest decisions they would have to make involved Mark Barron, and whether it would be worth keeping the linebacker around for another year.
Unfortunately for the Rams, Barron’s production didn’t seem to match the money the linebacker was making from the five-year, $45 million deal struck back in 2016, which led to his recent release back at the beginning of March.
When looking at the money Los Angeles would be save as a result of the release, it was easy to understand the decision to move on from Barron, although it seemed like only a matter of time before the linebacker found himself a home for the 2019 season.
