You already knew that defensive end Chris Long will be sticking around St. Louis through 2016, but now we have the terms of the new four-year extension. Long will earn $50 million over the course of the contract, with $27 million in the deal guaranteed. It's certainly a significant deal for the defensive end, who becomes the first Rams draft pick to earn a second contract since cornerback Ron Bartell, a second round pick in 2005.
