Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that the Rams have officially picked up DEย Robert Quinn‘s fifth-year option.
The Rams were obviously expected to make this move beforeย Saturday’sย deadline, ย so this shouldn’t come as much of aย surprise.
Quinn’s option will runย the Ramsย $6.9 million for the 2015 season, but the salary is non-guaranteed, so they could always work on a long-term deal that would reduce that figure and keep him under team control in the coming years.
Quinn, still only 23, is coming off of an extremely impressive season inย which he totaledย 57 tackles, 19 sacks, seven forced fumbles, two recoveries and a defensive touchdown.ย
Pro Football Focusย rated him as the No. 1 defensive end in a 3-4 system by a huge margin.
