Rams sign Suh

-

Los Angeles (AP) — Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, joining All-pro Aaron Donald on a potentiall­y fearsome defensive front. Suh was released by the Dolphins earlier this month when he declined to restructur­e his hefty contract after three seasons in Miami. He attracted widespread interest as a free agent before agreeing to join the defending NFC West champion Rams, who have revamped their already solid defence with several impressive off-season additions. Suh’s deal in Los Angeles is worth $14 million, according to the NFL Network and ESPN.

Suh is a five-time Pro Bowl selection during his eightyear career with Detroit and Miami. He is considered one of the NFL’S most impressive defensive linemen, with 51 1/2 career sacks and excellent run-stopping ability. He also has never missed a game due to injury.

Suh visited New Orleans and Tennessee during his free agency tour, and he attracted serious interest from the New York Jets. But the Rams won him over last week after a visit to their suburban training complex and a dinner in Malibu with a front-office group including coach Sean Mcvay and owner Stan Kroenke.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles added cornerback­s Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, who have been selected to a combined seven Pro Bowls.
