St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - The St. Louis Rams re-signed free agent cornerback Ron Bartell to a four-year contract on Wednesday.

"It was apparent to us that Ron fits the mold we are looking for in our defensive players," said St. Louis head coach Steve Spagnuolo. "Ron is a good player and an even better person. We are glad he will be a part of our team."

Bartell played in all 16 games with a career-high 14 starts in 2008. He tied his career high with three interceptions and added 20 passes defensed, which is a best for him.

Over his four seasons in the NFL, all with St. Louis, he has appeared in 58 games, including 36 starts. During that time he registered 185 tackles (154 solo), eight interceptions, 41 passes defensed and six forced fumbles.

He was a second round pick (50th overall) by St. Louis in the 2005 draft.
