The New England Patriots have agreed upon a one-year deal with Chris Long.

Long will help the Patriots replace Chandler Jones, who was traded to the Arizona Cardinals.

Long, the second overall pick in the 2008 draft, started 95 of his 114 games with the Rams and compiled 54½ sacks, 41½ of which came between the 2010 and 2013 seasons, which ranked fifth in the NFL over that period.

Long has battled injuries over the past two seasons and turns 31 this month.
