BALTIMORE — The Rams have made a roster move on the eve of their first practice with the Ravens, signing defensive end Marcus Martin.
A college free agent out of Division-II Slippery Rock, Martin initially signed with the Seahawks following the spring's draft. Even though Martin recorded a record-setting 56.0 sacks in college, he joined the Seahawks to play as a fullback. That ultimately did not work out, as Martin was waived in late May.
Martin is the all-time NCAA leader in sacks irrespective of division with his 56.0 quarterback takedowns. He holds the record for Division-II career tackles for loss as well, with 92.5.
Los Angeles announced Margin's signing as a defensive end, meaning he will likely go back to playing defense.
The Rams will practice with the Ravens this week before taking on Baltimore for Los Angeles' first preseason matchup on Thursday evening.
