Les Snead on How the Rams Landed Sammy Watkins –VideoThe trade that brought receiver Sammy Watkins to the Rams was more than three months in the making. Les Snead explained to Mike Florio how the team first became interested in Watkins. “I think he landed on the radar screen when the Bills’ organization didn’t put the fifth-year option on him back in the spring,” Snead said. “At that point you can sense, OK, maybe they’re not satisfied. Maybe there’s a question mark or two because they didn’t do the fifth-year option. So to be honest with you, I probably made the first call within that week. From there it probably was a summer’s worth of calls to try to get this thing done. It was finally consummated on Friday.” (20:36)
