ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Rams middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, one of key pieces in new coach Jeff Fisher’s rebuilding plan, has signed a five-year contract extension.

When defensive end Chris Long got a multiyear extension on the first day of training camp, the team said Laurinaitis was also a priority. The Rams announced the deal on their Twitter feed Saturday, saying the team was “thrilled to announce” the signing.

Laurinaitis, a second-round pick in 2009 out of Ohio State, has led the Rams in tackles all three of his seasons with double-digit totals every year. He’s been durable, too, starting every game.
