PFT first reported this afternoon that the Rams were close to a deal that would send tackle Alex Barron to the Cowboys for linebacker Bobby Carpenter.

Since our report, there have been other indications a deal is imminent. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said a deal was likely, and Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes a deal will happen.

Before the trade can be official, Barron needs to sign his restricted free agent tender. The earliest that could happen now is Friday. The two players will also have to pass physicals.
