NFL.com’s Gil Brandt figured some potential free agency fits on Thursday and sees a nice fit between free agent linebacker Anthony Barr and the Rams’ defense for an improved run-stopping campaign in 2019.
ANTHONY BARR – Los Angeles Rams – "He's good against the run and would make sense in his hometown of Los Angeles, given the Rams' difficulties stopping the run last season (they ranked 23rd in run defense). Yes, Los Angeles tightened things up in the playoffs. But consider that Barr was Pro Football Focus' 18th-highest-graded linebacker against the run last season, while the Rams' highest-graded linebacker was Mark Barron, who checked in at No. 90.”
Barr is a four-time Pro Bowler and a former first-round pick.
