    Rams agree to three-year deal with Coty Sensabaugh
    6:56 PM ET

    Nick Wagoner

    The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to a three-year contract with cornerback Coty Sensabaugh, a source told ESPN.

    The deal is worth just shy of $15 million and can be worth up to $19 million if he reaches incentives.

    Sensabaugh, who started 15 games for the Tennessee Titans last season, will be counted on to help fill the void at the cornerback spot created when Janoris Jenkins signed a long-term contract with the New York Giants last week.

    The Rams also will have cornerback E.J. Gaines returning from injury next season. Gaines missed the entire 2015 season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in training camp.

    Cornerback Trumaine Johnson received the Rams’ franchise tag on March 1. He signed the tender worth $13.952 million on March 9.

    It is expected that Sensabaugh will compete with Gaines for the outside cornerback spot opposite Johnson.

    Sensabaugh, 27, played for current Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams when he was Tennessee’s senior assistant defensive coach in 2013. If he doesn’t win the competition with Gaines, Sensabaugh has the flexibility to play nickel as he did under Williams in Tennessee.

    He had been on a two-day visit with the Rams before agreeing to his contract. He also had interest from the Dolphins, Giants, Seahawks and Bears.

    Sensabaugh played 59 games in his first four seasons with the Titans, including 27 starts. Best suited to be the Titans’ nickelback, he was forced into increased action in 2015 when a sports hernia injury limited Jason McCourty to only four games.

    He made the first two interceptions of his career in 2015, including a pick of Jameis Winston he returned for a touchdown in a season-opening blowout of the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.

    Sensabaugh was originally a fourth-round pick out of Clemson in 2012.

    88th ranked CB on PFF.

    I re-watched the first half of the Detroit game this weekend. Janoris was injured and missed that one. It was late in the season for both teams playing out the string. But, the Rams stuck Tru on Megatron and with the help if the Rams DL, he played quite well. Held Meg to 1 catch for 16 yards. I’ll watch the second half later this week sometime.

    Bryant played well in the first half also from what I saw. Tate had a couple TD’s in the second half.

    Just spitballin’ here but Sensabaugh addition could theoretically open door for Rams to look at L. Joyner at FS if they want to go that way.

    I said it since before the Rams drafted him. Joyner has elite instincts from range. He is a panther. You take away his greatest skill by telling him to line up as a cb. He was made to diagnose and find his way to the ball or ball carrier. He was one of the most natural safeties that I can remember. Smooth and ready to hit or break up.

    Joyner’s height has caused the Rams to protect him but when you are built like a tank and have hard nose instincts you simply cannot tell a player to loosen up. Let him fly.

    3/14/2016: Signed a three-year, $14 million contract. The deal includes $6.5 million guaranteed. 2016: $1 million (+$3.5 million roster bonus), 2017: $4 million (+$1 million roster bonus), 2018: $4.5 million, 2019: Free Agent

    It’s worth “up to” $19 million. Sensabaugh was forced to play major snaps on the outside last season, but should slot in as the nickel back between Trumaine Johnson and E.J. Gaines in Los Angeles. He’s also an insurance policy on Gaines, who is returning from a Lisfranc injury. The Rams needed another starting-caliber corner after losing Janoris Jenkins to the Giants. Sensabaugh turns 28 in November

    One note from yesterday: Newly-signed Rams CB Coty Sensabaugh received a $6.5 million guarantee. Counts $4.5 million against cap in ’16.
