Just read that the Rams have about 21 mil in cap space left but only about 13 of that can be spent in free agency the rest has to be saved for draft picks and other stuff that may come up throughout the year. doubt were gonna sign any big outside FA with only 13 mil left. there pretty much all gone anyway now.

Maxwell was burnt toast last year and Kiko cannot stay healthy. I understand why they did it, and no way am I saying the league should have to approve trades. But Jesus there needs to be some type of limit on what you can do.

It does seem the cap doesn't apply to some teams. Where did the Giants get all this money?

It's so confusing, because you see how much, say the Giants and Eagles have spent.

That seems low? But I guess it probably factors in $13M + for Tru which should likely be a little lower if they get a long term deal done.

I have an understanding of the cap, but never put too much in it, because teams always seem to do what they think they have to do.
