[jonathanlambert33]

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams signaled their commitment to building a winner right before the start of training camp, agreeing to terms with defensive end Chris Long on a four-year contract extension through the 2016 season.

Getting the deal done before training camp was a priority for Long.

"It's huge for me," Long said after a two-hour workout ended early Sunday night. "You like to know where you stand, and I feel really good about obviously their commitment to me. When it turns around, I want to be a part of it."
