"On Saturday, the Rams moved to keep Landman in the fold for the future, signing him to a three-year contract extension, the team announced. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but it includes more than $15 million in guarantees, said the person with knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity because the contract has not been posted. Landman, 27, is a fourth-year pro who played in college at Colorado and signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent."
"Landman has made a team-best 91 tackles for the Rams, including a team-record 17 in a victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He also has forced four fumbles. "There are certain guys that just have some natural leadership traits and characteristics that endears them to their teammates," coach Sean McVay said this week, adding, "I think the best part about it is that Nate's not being anybody other than himself.""
Nate Landman signed a three-year contract extension with the Rams that includes more than $15 million in guarantees. He earned a team captain vote months after joining on a one-year veteran minimum deal and serves as the defensive signal-caller. Landman leads the Rams with 91 tackles, recorded a team-record 17 tackles in a victory over the Baltimore Ravens, and has forced four fumbles. He is a 27-year-old fourth-year pro who played at Colorado and entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. The Rams have historically invested little at inside linebacker and several recent contributors were undrafted. The Rams are 8-2 and will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
