    We like Barnes. We just didn’t like him good enough to tender him as a restricted free agent. The minimum tender was about 1.5 million. That would have given us the right to match any offer he got.

    @jthom1: After visit to Kansas City, free agent guard/center Tim Barnes agrees to terms w/Rams. He is expected to sign Tuesday.

    @jthom1: It’s a one-year deal for Barnes, w/maximum value of $1 million. He provides depth at center and guard, and could compete for starting spot.

    I would have paid more for Massey to come back. Still, if it is for the vet minimum it is probably a smart move. he knows the system, is a year older and stronger and can compete for a backup job.

    Barnes returns to Rams on one-year deal

    After paying a free-agent visit Monday to the Kansas City Chiefs, Tim Barnes has decided to stay put on the other side of the state. Barnes, a former University of Missouri player, has agreed to terms on a one-year deal that will keep him with the Rams.

    It’s a one-year deal with a maximum value of $1 million; Barnes is expected to sign the deal Tuesday.

    Barnes, 26, was not tendered by the Rams as a restricted free agent this offseason, making him the equivalent of an unrestricted free agent. But all along, the Rams kept the door open that he could re-sign with the team at a reduced rate.

    Barnes, 6-4, 306, has played in 45 NFL games, mostly on special teams over three seasons with the Rams. But he did start four games at center to end the 2013 season in place of the injured Scott Wells against Arizona, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, and Seattle.

    He spent most of the 2011 season on the Rams’ practice squad.

    At worst, Barnes provides needed interior line depth. At best, he can compete for a starting job at center and possibly guard.
