The Ndamukong Suh Sweepstakes are over.

The veteran defensive tackle officially ended his free agent tour Monday, agreeing to a one-year, $14 million deal with the Los Angeles Rams, the team announced.

“We are excited have Ndamukong as a part of the Los Angeles Rams,” General manager Les Snead said in a statement. “He’s been an outstanding player in this league and we are looking forward to him being a part of our defense.”

The five-time Pro Bowler was released by the Dolphins earlier this month, halfway through a six-year, $114 million contract that had made him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL.

His addition is the latest move in an offseason reshaping of the Rams' defense. Los Angeles also added cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, and later traded away pass rusher Robert Quinn and linebacker Alec Ogletree.

Suh joins a defensive line that already features the reigning defensive player of the year in defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who is seeking a contract extension as he enters the fifth-year option of his rookie deal. The two will become the first pair of defensive tackles on the same team each to have at least three all-pro selections entering a season together.

Los Angeles' defense ranked fourth in sacks last season with 48 but finished just 19th in total yards with an average of 339.6 allowed per game.
