Then you can add ~1.0 million for when the cap goes from 51 to 53.
1.0+ million for the Practice Squad.
3-5 million for IR during the season.
I should say subtract.;)

I should say subtract.So IF they let Brockers and Barron go along with Sullivan, that’s really 32 M.
33 – 34 million.
AgamemnonDraft Costs for Rams 7 picks: $5,534,505 – (7 x $495,000) = $2,069,000
Right now we only count 51 players against the Salary Cap. Later we will count 53. that will and another 2 x $495,000(rookie min. wage) = $990,000
Practice Squad of 10 players for games equals, 2019 Practice Squad Weekly Pay: $8,000.00 ($136,000 if on all 17 weeks) x 10 = $1,360,000.

$2,069,000 – draft pool
$990,000 – 51-53
$1,360,000 – practice squad
$5,000,000 – Injured Reserve, plus or minus a million.

$9,419,000 yearly expenses AgamemnonWhen I add everything up in my head, I see the Rams having about $5M in usable Cap Space. Of course, they can and will change this by various means, so it is not a hard fast number. Not all the costs kick in right away. If they want to do something, they can make it happen. Just write a low cost for this year’s Cap into the contract.
The Rams have almost $100 million in Cap Space for 2020.
AgamemnonCan they afford CJ now?
Sure, np. Saffold, too. They could do Saffold for whatever it takes, but what is reasonable? $8M? $10M? Right now Arizona looks like the biggest competition and they don’t have that much money. The Rams have almost $100M in cap space next year, about anything is possible. Maybe not wise, but possible.
.
They can do Saffold and a few low/minimum range FAs without cutting or extending anybody. The would just have to move a bit of Saffold’s money into the future. Agamemnon
Fowler: Cap hit = $12,000,000
Weddle: Cap hit = $5,751,525

Spotrac Cap = $16,708,193
OvertheCap = $17,892,895 = [$29,892,895 – Fowler’s number ($12M)]Both sites have this mistake >>
So we don’t have an exact figure. It could be +$2.6M more? Maybe Vinne knows.
When the season and the draft start we will need to figure common expenses, too. That is another ~$9.4M.
.
By Wed we have to do our RFAs, that could another -$5M.
.
My estimate of $5M eventual Cap Space stands. It is easy for the Rams to find more money if they want. We can sign CJ and Saffold if we want. It would be hard to do any one year contracts any more unless they are minimum or at least low wage. AgamemnonCan they afford CJ now?
I think they tendered Brown instead and they are letting Saffold walk.

Overthecap just now added the guys that the Rams tendered yesterday. But they have Brown listed and Sportac doesn’t. Sportac should be $2,025,00 lower? These 2 sites never agree exactly. I prefer Sportac, but use both. Last year the main difference was the carry over money. I am not sure this year. AgamemnonSpotrac Estimated Cap Space: $8,033,193
Over the Cap Team Cap Space: $8,767,895

The biggest difference is John Sullivan’s dead money. Spotrac books $1,000,000. OTC doesn’t.
According to Vinnie, it should really be a $1M credit which neither have?
Spotrac picked up Brown.
.
They both still have the booking errors on Higbee and Blythe. That would add ~$2.6M to the Rams’ Cap Space.
Welcome to the world of the Salary Cap where nothing comes out exactly right. 😉
.
The easiest way for the Rams to get more money is to restructure Donanld’s ~$9M dollar salary for this year.
?They could extend Peters’ contract and restructure his $9M dollar salary?
.
The Rams can still do whatever they want. They could trade for a high priced DE and make it work. They could have signed Saffold if they wanted. I don’t know how wise that would have been, but they could have found the money. And their Cap Space is probably about $12M. But I have no way of proving that. It is just my opinion.

This seems like the best place to get numbers on a team’s Salary Cap. Maybe Sportac is the fastest?

…Matthews will count for just $3.5 million against the cap in 2019. That’ll leave the Rams with $5.3 million in cap space moving forward.
NFLPA.. = $4,575,533
Looks like the Matthews article takes its figures from the over.the.cap/spotrac neck of the woods.
Assuming NFLPA is more accurate, then, the article is off by a bit.
It sounds to me like the Rams intend to extend Peters and maybe in the process they alter his 2019 numbers as part of an extension. If so that frees up a bit.
…
Right, and if Peters does not work out, they can always restructure Donald.

Finally Browns details. A hit of $2.125M – $.57m (drop one off the roster) = $1.555M hit on the Cap.

?Guess, 10 players on Injured Reserve. 10 is a very reasonable number to predict. That would add a minimum of $4.95M to the Cap.
