The Rams brought back one defensive lineman on Friday and said farewell to another.
The team announced that defensive end Morgan Fox has been re-signed. Defensive tackle Tanzel Smart was cut loose in a corresponding move.
Fox signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and played in four games as a rookie. He was up to 16 games in 2017, missed 2018 with a torn ACL and returned to appear in every game last season. He had 18 tackles and two sacks while playing on 32 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.
Smart was a 2017 sixth-round pick who played 31 games over the last three seasons. He has 21 career tackles.

I wonder what took them so long to make this move. It could have been money/cap. It seems like Fox is a better fit at DE with the Rams having SJD and Gaines to rotate in at DT. Fox is an effort guy not a difference-maker but could keep improving. It good to have him give Brockers a rest. Jonah Williams the UDFA with an impressive pro day could give him some competition at DE.
