Not sure if this has already been posted but speculation in this article is that the Rams may be adding some type of oversight between KD and Snead.
Rams expected to make front-office additions

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- A thorough evaluation of the entire organization is ongoing, Los Angeles Rams COO Kevin Demoff said from The Forum on Wednesday, site of a ceremony that celebrated the Chargers' move to L.A.
The Rams are in the process of constructing a coaching staff under Sean McVay. And though Les Snead has been retained as general manager, changes could be made in the front office as well. Demoff wouldn't go into specifics, but did reference his comments from a Dec. 12 press conference, when Jeff Fisher was fired as head coach and Demoff said: "We need to take a look at this entire organization, and that includes personnel."
"We need to make sure we deliver on the rest of that analysis, which is how we get better as an organization," Demoff said Wednesday, shortly after speaking from the lectern and stating that the Rams and Chargers would "work hand in hand" in Los Angeles.
"I think it would be disingenuous to stand up there in December and say we all need to improve, and then not make any changes outside of the coaching staff. I think that would ring hollow. So, we're going to continue to evaluate. And I would expect that we will make additions to our front office to try to make sure that we field the best possible team that we can field."
A report by NBC's Pro Football Talk speculated that the Rams could look for someone who would have say over Snead on football matters, which would free Demoff to spend more time focusing on the business aspect of the organization. The Rams still seem to be in the process of determining that. They got plenty of feedback about their dynamics and their roster throughout the just-completed head-coaching search, specifically from Jon Gruden, Tony Dungy and Bill Polian.
"[Rams owner Stan Kroenke]'s demand of us, for the entire organization, is to field a Super Bowl winner as quickly as possible," Demoff said. "That's what he wants for the organization; that's what he wants for the fans in Los Angeles. And we need to make sure that we're evaluating every opportunity to improve."
