Suh shows how far the Rams have come in such a short time

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Just 15 months after a forgettable first season back in Los Angeles, the Rams are the most compelling team in football. Monday's signing of Ndamukong Suh looks like the final big addition in a bold offseason by general manager Les Snead in which he took an already entertaining squad and made them truly showtime.

The Rams' recruitment of Suh was a sign of how far the Rams have come in such a short time. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Titans and Jets both offered Suh more money, but the chance to compete for a championship is simply greater with the Rams.

Speaking to the Around the NFL Podcast on Monday before the news broke, Snead explained how defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and his staff detailed to Suh how they would utilize him in every situation in Phillips' 3-4 defense. Suh has traditionally played in a 4-3 scheme, but the opportunity to avoid double teams while playing next to reigning Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald was too good to pass up. Playing in Los Angeles certainly couldn't have hurt the Rams' pitch, either.

The organization wooed Suh like a prospective No. 1 overall draft pick. A contingent including Snead, coach Sean McVay, COO Kevin Demoff and owner Stan Kroenke took Suh out to dinner at Nobu in Malibu, where they ran into Late Late Show host James Corden at the door and then walked by a table with Chris Rock and David Spade.

Snead's wife Kara Henderson described the scene as an "L.A. fever dream," which is how Rams fans must feel about this roster after its dramatic reconstruction.
