Rams no longer have enough money. Could Suh signing be precursor to a Donald trade? I doubt it. But I can't imagine Donald won't be with the team until he uses up all his franchise tags.
The Rams have a habit with their big contracts of planting the biggest hit in the 2nd year, not the 1st. That would be 2019 and the Rams have a lot of cap space in 2019.
On top of it, Donald is already under contract for nearly 7 M, and that would get absorbed into the next contract.
So they have around 12-14 M to sign AD this year. Let's pretend it's for 20 M. If they gave him 14 M this year, then they can put a big 26 M dollar hit (guaranteed money) on next year's cap.
So yes a deal can be done.
