Last season, the Los Angeles Rams were willing to bring any player on board who seemed capable of helping the team earn a trip to the Super Bowl, one of which happened to be Dante Fowler Jr.
Despite how disappointing his time spent with the Jacksonville Jaguars turned out to be, the Rams felt confident enough in acquiring Folwer before the trade deadline last season since this seemed like they had nothing to lose.
By only having to give up a future third and fifth-round pick along with the fact that Fowler was a former first-round pick for a reason, Los Angeles had every reason in the world to feel confident in a fresh start on a new team helping the linebacker get on the right track.
