Les Snead has become somewhat of a trend-setter in the NFL over the last few years. His aggressive pursuit of a championship came to fruition after many blockbuster trades, including one that sent Jared Goff and multiple draft picks to the Lions for Matthew Stafford.
Snead has also made deals for Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller, Brandin Cooks, Dante Fowler Jr., Aqib Talib, Sammy Watkins and Marcus Peters since 2017. That all-in mentality rubbed off on other teams and general managers this offseason with Russell Wilson, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill and Khalil Mack, among many others, all getting traded.
Undeniably, Snead has been one of the best general managers in the NFL for the last five years, completely turning around a struggling franchise with the help of Sean McVay. And for all the work he’s done constructing the Rams’ roster, he’s getting plenty of recognition.
