The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron to a two-year, $12-million deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Barron recorded 60 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble in 2018.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected the 29-year-old with their seventh overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, and he's spent the last five seasons with the Rams.

Barron's the second defensive addition the Steelers have made during free agency this offseason following the signing of cornerback Steven Nelson. He'll join Vince Williams and Jon Bostic on the team's inside linebacker depth chart.
