Veteran pass-rusher Clay Matthews agreed to a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams, the team announced Tuesday. Matthews took to Twitter to celebrate the news:
The move ends a 10-year spell with the Green Bay Packers, who selected Matthews with the 26th overall pick of the 2009 draft.
While the 32-year-old was one of the longest-tenured players on Green Bay's roster, his departure isn't all that surprising. He finished the 2018 season with 43 combined tackles and a career-low 3.5 sacks, which continues the downward trend of his overall performance.
