The Rams signed Brown to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Brown was thought to be in line to serve as the Rams' Week 1 kicker, but he was let go after he made only four of his seven field-goal attempts in three preseason games. Los Angeles dealt with some kicking problems throughout the year (third-lowest conversion rate on field-goal attempts in the NFL), and Brown will likely have the opportunity to compete for the Rams' top kicker spot once again next season.
