A former Titans second-round pick could be on the Rams’ radar.

Per multiple reports from St. Louis beat writers, the Rams could have interest in Patriots linebacker Akeem Ayers, PFT’s 59th-ranked free agent.

Both Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com and Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch have indicated St. Louis could eventually be in the mix for the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Ayers, who’s recorded 252 tackles and 13 sacks in 59 games (47 starts), the bulk of which came with the Titans. The Patriots acquired Ayers from Tennessee in October.

The Titans drafted Ayers three months after now-Rams coach Jeff Fisher left the franchise. In St. Louis, Ayers (6-3, 255) would likely be an outside linebacker in the club’s 4-3 scheme.
