Linebacker Bryce Hager hit free agency in March, but he won’t be leaving the Rams.

The Rams announced on Monday that Hager has signed a new one-year deal with the team.

Hager originally came to the Rams as a 2015 seventh-round pick and he’s played in every one of the team’s games over the last four seasons. Most of Hager’s work in those appearances has come as a core member of the team’s special teams units, but he has made one start on defense.

Hager has 37 tackles and a forced fumble over his 64 regular season games. He’s the first 2018 Rams player to hit free agency and re-sign with the club.
