Thought this article might be worth reading since reality of cap restrictions & the cost of a way past his prime starting LT is being discussed here.....
Those horrendous Rams guaranteed contracts
View attachment 33555
The Rams are struggling under the NFL Salary cap ceiling in 2020 because they loved to hand out lots of guaranteed dollars to players and do so over long term deals. The Rams are now struggling under the aggregate weight of too much money in the hands of too few players.

I’ve been saying Gurley could be traded as well as Cooks. In fact you like Big Rob Havenstien because he is a veteran. I’ll laugh at that because Brewer & Evans can handle that spot. If not Edwards could be that guy.
My point there is by trading Havenstien it will allow Whitworth to continue to be the Payton Man of the Year again,as well as mentoring the young line.
This gives The Rams time to evaluate Noteboom and if he is the LT to take over for Whitworth. Let’s say The Rams are going to be out of the playoffs & 7-9. Well Noteboom can get playing time at LT & maybe locked up to a guaranteed contract at a price that is fair for both sides.
The Rams have a couple young RB’s and can hopefully find a stater?? Watch the Super Bowl, or rewatch the Green Bay game.
There was a young RB that is going to be tough for the next few seasons for a great contract.
The thing with Snead is he has always said dumb as things that PISS me off. Devon Cook was an easy choice for drafting a RB, his thing was there is only one Football
The other one was what he said about Corey Littleton’s contract. I think he believes he can fill those positions easy
with below average depth.
I’m a McSnead fan, but Demoff has always over paid all the way back in his early St. Louis Days !!! When JZ held SJ39 out it pissed me off. The Rams could have drafted Cutler knowing Bulgers contract was coming up. Instead they over paid for him & held SJ39 out. SJ39 had one of the best seasons in NFL history under Scott Linehan. After that the Rams O”Line has never been rebuilt right.
I like this young group & think they allow it to be a strength for seasons to come. I think The Rams can find a solid RB & MLB in the draft.
With all the high cost then why not bring in players in the draft ??? McSnead has done well in the draft.
