The Rams have become the "frontrunners" to sign free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh after the Jets rescinded their contract offer that reportedly was the biggest he had received.
"The Rams are in the driver's seat," NFL.com Insider Ian Rapoport said Monday morning on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" show. "They appear to be the frontrunner for Suh. It feels like it's the Rams' deal to lose."

Suh was released March 14 by the Dolphins. The Rams, Saints and Titans are the three teams he continues to consider, reports say, after the Jets bowed out.
Jets owner Christopher Johnson said Sunday after he and general manager Mike Maccagnan talked that they decided to rescind the offer made to Suh, according to the New York Daily News.
“Our thinking just changed a bit,” Johnson told reporters at the owners’ meeting (via ProFootballTalk.com).
Johnson didn't go into much detail but he did say the move "wasn't in keeping with our long-term plan." The owner added he wasn't involved when the offer was made to Suh, per SNY.
Yahoo Sports first reported Friday that the Jets emerged as a serious contender to land the 31-year-old even though they weren't one of the three teams that met with him earlier this week. NFL.com later said the Jets made the "biggest offer," adding, "Suh would have to take less to go to the other teams … which he may do." Suh never arranged a visit with the Jets.
He already has visited the Titans, Saints and Rams. The Raiders also showed interest, but Suh canceled a visit with them earlier this week.
Suh was a three-time All-Pro in five seasons with the Lions before signing a six-year, $114 million contract with Miami in 2015. He had 15 1/2 sacks in three seasons with the Dolphins and has made just one Pro Bowl since 2014.
