After famously turning down opportunities to invest in linebacker, the Rams finally make a deal. And it took a huge value to make it happen.
The 9-2 Los Angeles Rams have not invested in the linebacker position in quite some time.

They backfilled Jones' spot this year with former Falcons undrafted free agent Nate Landman, signing the unheralded veteran to a one-year, $1.
