“business is booming” and the cap could exceed $240 million when set.

If the cap is 240 M (and the message says it could exceed that) then next year, the Rams would have this much in space: 43 M or so. Strangely, while that’s good, it’s actually not that much. They can maybe get 2-3 FAs out of that, including their own, and they have to think about guys like Dotson and Witherspoon.

Though depending on how they use the June 1 designations, they could get up to another 20 M by releasing Noteboom and Allen.

The estimated league cap number was higher previously, but analysts have been sobering up on that.

This for example is from Over.The.Cap:

My expectation was that the salary cap has continued to be deflated due to the Covid impacts (without Covid, for example, the cap should have been $228-$229M this year without any new TV money) but that there would be a catch up period that would start in 2024, which would also coincide with the new TV money kicking in and push the cap significantly up. Per multiple sources within the NFL that does not appear to be the case and many are working with a salary cap limit for next year of about $242 million and so I will be adjusting the numbers accordingly on OTC.

over.the.cap.com still has Rams at just over 40 M in cap space…this is in disparity with sportsrac, which has them at 46 M. Over.the.cap link: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space

According to http://overthecap.com the Rams have 14.3 in cap space and after they pay their rookie class, they will 10.5 million in cap space.

I just went to over the cap. They don’t list White’s contract yet. So I doubt it’s 14 M. White’s deal is reported to be 8.5 M.
