THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams have released starting inside linebacker Mark Barron, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Barron, who had two seasons remaining on his contract, was sidelined four games to start the 2018 season because of a nagging ankle injury. He finished with 43 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
The Rams save $6.33 million on their salary cap with the move and will carry a dead-money charge of $3.33 million. If they designate Barron for a post-June 1 release, they will save $8 million on their salary cap.
