LOS ANGELES — Les Snead celebrated his 52nd birthday Thursday, but the Rams general manager already had received an early present when coach Sean McVay last week informed team officials he would return next season.
So, Snead is moving ahead unencumbered as the Rams attempt to bounce back from their lost season.
A year after winning Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium, the Rams finished 5-12, the worst season-after performance by a champion in NFL history.
