Sources: Ex-Rams safety McLeod, Eagles agree

Former St. Louis Rams safety has agreed to a five-year, $37 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Of the $37 million, $17 million is guaranteed.

McLeod, 25, developed from key special teams contributor to starting free safety by 2013 and became a staple in the Rams' secondary from there.

In 2015, McLeod set career highs in tackles (81) and forced fumbles (three) to go with a fumble recovery and an interception. He has 227 tackles, five interceptions, seven forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in his time in the NFL.

The Rams used a second-round tender on McLeod as a restricted free agent before last season.
