The Rams project Long will start at right end, beefing up an anemic pass rush. The team did not disclose the terms of the deal.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on its website Saturday night that the son of Hall of Famer Howie Long was expected to sign a deal that covers at least five years early this week.
The Rams report to training camp at Concordia University in Mequon, Wis., on Thursday.
St. Louis also agreed to terms on a three-year contract with seventh-round pick Chris Chamberlain, a linebacker from Tulsa.
The Rams have signed five of their eight draft picks.
