Los Angeles Rams have released three of their best players — Chris Long is signing with the New England Patriots

Today the New England Patriots traded Chandler Jones to the Arizona Cardinals, and it seems like they had a replacement in mind.

According to Adam Schefter, the Patriots will sign former Rams defensive end Chris Long.

Former Rams DE Chris Long is signing a 1-year deal with the Patriots, per @wingoz. Long helps replace Chandler Jones.

Long was expected to visit the Cowboys tomorrow, but decided that the Patriots were his best option.
