The Rams made a move to reinforce their defensive front, signing former Chargers defensive lineman Poona Ford to a three-year deal, a source confirmed Monday.
Ford, 29, is entering his eighth season and will be playing with his fourth team. He spent the first five years of his career with Seattle before trudging through an injury-plagued year with Buffalo in 2023.
But the 5-foot-11, 310-pound Ford had a resurgence with the Chargers in 2024. He matched his career highs with 8.5 run stuffs and three sacks.
With tackles Bobby Brown III and Neville Gallimore entering free agency, the Rams needed a new run stopper to shore up the defensive line. Ford provides a veteran presence on the inside next to defensive captain Kobie Turner and second-year tackle Tyles Davis.
