The Los Angeles Rams signed defender Connor Barwin to a one-year deal, but he hopes to play for the team for three more seasons after 2017.

Barwin, 30, was signed by Los Angeles during the offseason because he was a good fit for the 3-4 defense. He recently explained his intentions are to play longer than just this season in L.A. (via ESPN):

Yeah, I think I want to play 12 years. This will be nine, so I think I have four more. I’d like to do three stints of four – Houston, Philly and L.A … That’d be great. I gotta get to that new stadium .

While he had success with the Eagles, his most impressive NFL season was coached by Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips with the Texans.

Barwin thinks the 3-4 defense will allow him to play “a couple more years” because he can play every snap and rush the passer on third down. He is just one year younger than Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay.
