We’ve had this argument and we disagree. That’s fine.
Cap hit 4.5M - but that’s because the other 1.5m is pushed to next year. It’s $6m guaranteed for 2025. Idc how you slice it for purposes of what the guy got. If you are looking in a vacuum at 2025 cap like you are, then 4.5m. I’m looking at what it truly is overall.
Yeah, that's fine. I responded with the $4.5M amount in 2025 because I think many posters are more focused on the cap hit to the Rams.

Spotrac has added the contracts for several signings.

Spotrac has been screwed-up recently ... it's Rams' cap number is way off because it is counting Kupp twice. However, it has added the contracts for Landman, Rivers, Murchison and Witherspoon. I would take Spotrac with a grain-of-salt but these are probably correct.

All are one-year deals, with the first three around $1.1M each; and Witherspoon is one-year and $1.255M.
Take out Kupps $29 cap hit since it's reflected in dead cap and it shows the Rams with around $14m of space on Spotrac. OverTheCap shows $20m or so. Seems we still have a move to make, Asante Samuel or Justin Simmons, or both perhaps? Wouldn't that solve another area of need before the draft. Looks like swing tackle will have to taken care of in the draft, not much available right now free agent wise.

Y’know… it always cracks me up. I get that there are constraints. But almost without fail, every time someone says a team can’t do anything and stay under the cap, they do something that shocks everyone. Eagles are a good example and I dare say what we have done in this FA period is another.

The amount of cap room the different sites show may be a hint. But the guys handling the cap structure for the different teams seem to see things quite a bit differently.

With the Kupp dead cap hit and renegotiating Stanford’s contract, did anyone see us seriously competing in the FA market? I seem to remember most people thinking we could grab maybe one medium level player, restructure a couple contracts and rely on the draft.

Snead - fuck that cap.

I am confident that the Rams will end up with 4 picks in the top 100 after a trade or 2
It would be nice to have one of the following with R1.26:
Simmons/OT
Hampton/RB
Emmanwori/SS
Egubuka/WR

But I’d prefer trade down for a combo like one of following;
Taylor/TE and Higgins/WR
Revel/CB and Royals/WR

If Simmons is there at 26 and our docs feel good about his health, I don’t see how you pass him up.

Let’s take Greenland and San Marino. They’re ripe for the taking!!!
Good idea. Or even better we can just import all those people so they can take part in our next ballot time.
