NFL: Rams re-sign cornerback Bartell

Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams re-signed cornerback Ron Bartell to a four-year contract, addressing one of their free agent priorities on Wednesday.

Terms were not disclosed, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Bartell gets $13.6 million in guaranteed money, with the overall deal reaching $28 million if incentives are met.

Bartell started 14 games last season. He tied a career high with three interceptions last season and broke up 20 passes, the most by a Ram since Jerametrius Butler had 22 in 2004.

He visited New Orleans before re-signing with St. Louis.
