Mike Thomas, a Rams receiver for the last four seasons, on Tuesday signed a free-agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

Thomas was a sixth-round draft pick by the Rams in 2016. He played mainly on special teams as part of a receiver corps that included Kenny Britt and Tavon Austin during his rookie year, and Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks and Josh Reynolds the last two seasons.

Thomas played in 40 games and caught 10 passes for 144 yards.

The Rams officially unveiled their new logos for 2020, and it has a different look compared with the draft hat logo leaked on social media.
