After another good but not good enough season, the Los Angeles Rams face a major decision about one of the best players and fixtures on their team for almost the entire time they have been back southern California.

The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Monday.
