This post is what can we do, to create cap space. Remember, we are $14 Million over the cap. You would like to get some more space as well, to sign rookies

Rams have one month to get under the cap. Two moves can get them there.

It doesn’t take an expert to understand the Los Angeles Rams aren’t in the best shape salary cap-wise. They’re currently $14.1 million over the salary cap, which has been set at $224.8 million for the 2023 season.

It’s not an issue that they’re over the limit right now because the new league year doesn’t start for another month. On March 15, however, they have to be under the cap, per league rules. They’re also not the only team with more than $224.8 million allocated to players at the moment. There are 13 other teams that are over the cap, too.

With one month until the deadline, the Rams need to make some moves to clear up some space. Whether that’s releasing players or restructuring their contracts, there are multiple avenues to freeing up money.

Two simple moves can get them under the cap before March 15, and it doesn’t require them to release anyone. First, they can restructure Cooper Kupp’s contract, thus creating $14.19 million in cap space. That almost gets them under the cap right there. The second move they can make is restructuring Bobby Wagner’s contract, which would save them another $7.75 million in 2023.

After those moves, the Rams would have $7.82 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap.

It would make sense for them to tweak those two contracts because it’s highly unlikely that the Rams want to move on from either player anytime soon.

If they restructure Aaron Donald’s deal, it’ll cause some pain in 2024 in the event that he retires. A restructure of Matthew Stafford’s contract would only save $251,250 in 2023, so his deal isn’t worth touching. Leonard Floyd could conceivably be a cap casualty, and there are rumors swirling about the possibility of dealing Jalen Ramsey.

Kupp should be on the team for at least the next two years, and the same goes for Wagner. It’s better to restructure the contract of a player who is expected to be on the roster in the coming years than one who could be cut in the near future.

I remember that draft, and I remember thinking the Rams blew it, and I remember remembering being right about that.

(Disclaimer: I’m not a draftnik).

I am fine will all of DaSilva’s outcomes (predictions), but I think Nsekhe is worth hanging onto, if possible. I’d like to keep Robinson, too, but I get it. The other guys he has leaving, I have been expecting to leave at the end of their deals anyway.

Why are you missing games? Not that it’s “an issue” just actually curious.

My parents are 93 years old. They live 90 miles from me in my childhood home.

I spent every weekend August – Thanksgiving moving them into a retirement home. And since the first of January, I have been going to the house every weekend to clean it out, clean it up, and prepare it for sale. Going up tonight for a 4-day weekend, as it happens.

The only games I saw this year were games played on days other than Sunday, with the exception of the final game against the Seahawks. I saw that.

My sources corroborate Sy Hersh's report that the US was behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.

(My sources are logic, common sense, and public statements by US government officials.)

There is no such thing as a $2.2 million dollar watch.

I can get a watch for ten bucks that does the same thing.

The remaining $2,199,990 is just to rub it in everyone else’s face.

Jerry Jones seems to be thinking VERY long term.

Jerry Jones says the Eagles bet it all to win this year, just as the Rams did last year. Jones says the Cowboys prefer to think longer term. https://t.co/DTdSyVm51F

Shame about the 9’ers. Yet another wasted season. Next year all those talented players will be another year older, another year closer to the end of their contracts, another year closer to the end of their competitive window. Another year closer to the end. If they had just blocked better on that play in which Purdy got hurt. If their vaunted front 7 just hadn’t been dominated by the Eagles’ o-line which allowed them to run at will and control the game… There’s nothing as agonizing as potential unfulfilled. “For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, ‘it might have been.” I feel terrible for all those 9’er fans out there. I wish there was something I could do to relieve their suffering. Yup, it’s a damn shame.

‘Zine it.
