There was huge news in the NFL today. Ndamakong Suh signed with the LA Rams today on a 1 year - 14 million dollar deal. With this signing, the LA Rams, on paper, have the best defense in the NFL.

This offseason, the Rams already traded for all-pro cornerback Marcus Peters, as well as all-pro DB Aqib Talib. They already had All-World and Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, future star LaMarcus Joyner and stud defensive lineman Michael Brockers on defense. Not to be forgotten is the top 3 offense they have, with budding star QB Jared Goff and MVP finalist Running Back Todd Gurley, this team is loaded to the max.

While they lost Linebacker Alec Ogletree via trade, they still received a draft pick in return, giving them more ammunition to stack up an already loaded team.

To me, it appears there is only two teams that will be able to compete with the Rams. First is of course defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. Almost their entire team will be returning, and they showed how strong a team they are, winning the Super Bowl with a backup QB when starter Carson Wentz tore his acl.

The second team is NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings. They return their whole defense and improved their offense by signing All-Pro QB Kirk Cousins. Their previous starting quarterback Case Keenum played admirably, but Cousins plays at another level.

There are lesser teams, like the New Orleans Saints that could make some noise, but it appears to be a three horse race, with the Rams leading the charge.

What do you guys think? Who are now the best teams in the league, pre-draft? Let me know in the comments!
