In what many are calling the news of the day in the NFL, the Rams converted $2.25M of P Johnny Hekker's base salary into a bonus, creating $1.69M in cap space.

This helps accommodate the recent extensions for Jared Goff and Tyler Higbee.

Hmmm It's not showing that. In fact it shows that available cap is a bit over $500K. Hekker's cap hit went up by almost $1M. You would think that's what they would do, and I expected some restructuring with someone. But what has been released doesn't show that at all.

The most logical move would be to restructure Brandon Cook's contract. That's the move I'm expecting. They can open $2-$3M in cap by spreading some of this year's option money over the remaining years.

Chances are very slim those things are updated as soon as you'd posted it. Some of the team info is changed now including our cap space but nothing yet on Goff or Higbee's contracts.

Whoo, Lance Hand-Bricks bringing back some memories. It's good to know he caught at least one ball.

Skillet hands got that one yes!

Congrats to Hekk and family. And very thankful he's here another year.

Fixed. Come on, Denny. Must we be so parochial?

I prefer myopic, but Hekker and Ray Guy are very close.

Johnny: "I am the better passer and FG/XP kicker. Therefore, I am the best overall NFL player - a modern day Slingin' Sammy Baugh!!!"

Well, honestly, I prefer right on the money, like you always are, my friend.

You’re right, Jap.

Johnny should have held out for quarterback money.
