According to Mike Garafolo, the Rams have signed restricted free agent CB Troy Hill. to a two-year contract worth up to $8.25 million.
Hill’s new contract carries a base value of $5.25 million and he can earn another $3 million by playing 52.2 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.
Hill was tendered as a restricted free agent this offseason, but it appears as though they were able to hammer out a different contract.
Hill, 27, originally signed on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon back in May of 2015. He was unable to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but later signed on to their practice squad.
Hill had a brief stint with the Patriots in 2015 before he was claimed off of waivers by the Rams.
In 2018, Hill appeared in all 16 games for the Rams and recorded 29 tackles, two interceptions and five pass defenses.
