Rams sign DE Hayes to one-year deal

Free agent defensive end William Hayes agreed to a one-year deal with the Rams, pending a physical.

Hayes can play defensive tackle in nickel defensive packages and was a reserve for most his first four seasons. He was drafted by the Titans in 2008 as a fourth-round pick when Jeff Fisher, now the head coach in St. Louis, was in Tennessee.

Hayes started 12 games in four seasons and has eight career sacks.
