Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead is no stranger to theatrical drama when it comes to the team’s roster, and he knows first-hand just how impactful the right mid-season addition can be to the team’s success. When the team needed pass rush help in 2021, he pried Denver Broncos legendary OLB Von Miller away. When help was needed at wide receiver due to an injury-riddled offense that same year, he signed veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr.
Neither roster shortfall that developed over the course of the season was anticipated. But as the year wore on, evidence that someone was needed to aid the team began to mount.
