65% of the Cap is the most money you can invest in “stars”. Whether that is 7 people or 12 people. Remember, we worked all that out a couple years ago.
Okay. I sort of had that in mind…I think the Big 3 plus 4 other guys would probably be around 65% but I haven’t done the math on it. (I was sticking to a rough view here–the “without digging too deep into it” approach).
But it raises a good question. Why is 65% the limit?
Well, I did all the math and it takes about 35% of the cap for basically minimum wage vets and rookies on their first contracts. It is in here somewhere.

According to PFF certain positions have a large effect on winning, especially coverage players like CBs.
AgamemnonSnead talks about the draft picks, but he doesn’t talk about how the Salary Cap is impacted.
AgamemnonRams GM Les Snead and Scott Pioli
Before discussing the Patriots’ acquisition of Mohammed Sanu with league consultant and former GM Scott Pioli (23:14), Adam talks to current Rams GM Les Snead about the decision to trade Marcus Peters and why the Rams traded away the assets they did to get Jalen Ramsey. Plus, “Ask Adam” (18:04).
AgamemnonLets say Whitworth and Blythe are gone next year. We could have Noteboom and Havenstien as tackles, Edwards and Evans as guards, Allen or Corbett as center. Maybe we would like to have better choices, but we do have choices. imo

AgamemnonI thought the offensive line played better, the defense played better, Goff played better.

The Los Angeles Rams have acquired CB Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
The fifth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Ramsey has amassed 210 tackles, nine interceptions, 45 pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 51 career games. He is a two-time Pro Bowler and former first-team All-Pro selection.
With Aqib Talib going on injured reserve and Marcus Peters getting dealt to the Ravens, cornerback was going to be a big need for the Rams. They addressed in it a big way Tuesday afternoon.

AgamemnonI believe the Rams traded a 2 and a 4 for Peters. I wonder what pick we got back?

This move also helps our Salary Cap. Agamemnon#LARams have traded CB Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens for LB Kenny Young + an undisclosed 2020 draft pick.

AgamemnonI watched part of their last game. They looked better than the Rams. I expect the Rams to play better, but we will see.
