    Over The Cap has the Rams with $21.2 million in cap space. That’s without accounting for cap hits of Witherspoon, Landman and Murchison – and also giving the Rams the cap space for Kupp’s post-June 1 release

    Spotrac has us at -$3.1 mil. Neither number is right. We/they don’t have all the information yet…

    Some more cap hits:

    Ahkello: $1.255 mil
    Landman: 1.1
    Rivers: 1.1
    Murch: 1.03

    All of these are at or close to the minimum and each replaces a $960k cap hit in the top 51, so not much change to the cap at all with these signings…

    With Stafford, i think they’ve agreed in principle but haven’t actually done the deal so who knows when we see those numbers? And if the deal adds to the cap, maybe they wait, what’s the rush?

    I think OTC is scoring it right if Kupp is not a June 1st cut. They’ve dumped his salary and are using the full dead cap number. Doing it that way, Rams have about $20 mil in cap space.

    I don’t know if that’s right, but if it is, the point would be to take on dead money in 2025 and have no dead money in 2026.

    So, sounds like Kupp was not a June 1st cut:

    “Pastoors confirmed that the Rams will take on $22.26 million in dead money in 2025 from releasing Kupp, but said he is off their books in 2026.”

    This means Rams have about $18 mil in cap space and it will not go up June 1st…

    About 10 M?

    We don’t really know their cap yet though because we don’t know Stafford’s contract numbers yet.

    Plus they’re working on extending Kyren.

    from Rodrigue, https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6244757/2025/03/31/rams-kyren-williams-contract-les-snead-owners-meetings/

    • Snead said the Rams have yet to “execute the paperwork” on Stafford’s adjusted contract, the terms of which he agreed to last month. He declined to clarify the specific terms of the deal, though it is believed to have a similar structure as last year’s adjustment that moved future money into the current season. The contract was adjusted under its existing years — through 2026 — and was referred to as a “vow renewal” in previous comments by Snead. McVay said the Rams plan to revisit the terms each offseason with Stafford as he decides how long he wants to keep playing.

    “It’ll be done very soon,” said Pastoors, who also declined to clarify the terms. “But we feel good about it, he feels good about it. We’re getting through paperwork right now.”

    Pastoors added that the understanding the Rams will again revisit Stafford’s contract with him in 2026 is a “good problem to have.”
