The deal was agreed to in the preseason and signed during the
season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and confirmed by
ESPN.
In his first four seasons with the Rams, the 58-year-old Fisher
led the team to records of 7-8-1, 7-9, 6-10, and 7-9. The Rams
currently sit at 4-7, giving Fisher an overall record 31-43-1
with the Rams.
The contract includes a team option for the Rams, who still
could part ways with Fisher after the season and owe him only
one year of salary.
Rams general manager Les Snead also signed an extension beyond
2017, according to the reports.
Fisher, who entered the season in the final year of his deal,
helped with the transition as the team moved from St. Louis to
Los Angeles during the offseason.
In 22 seasons as an NFL head coach with the Tennessee Titans and
Rams, Fisher led his teams to the playoffs in six seasons,
steering the Titans to the Super Bowl where they lost to St.
Louis in 2000.
