Yep, Rapaport confirmed. Not surprising, he wasn’t going to be back with Rams and I doubt he’d play somewhere just for a paycheck since he said he wouldn’t be a backup. So options were limited I’m sure.

edit: plus his agent reps confirm too.

 

[Memento]

I'll be nice: good luck in retirement. I hope you have numerous bowls of ice cream.

 

[OldSchool]

Yes he's retiring. Saves us some cap space.

what like half a million I think? But we’ll take it.

 

[TXRams86]

Finally he does something good for the organization.

 

[OldSchool]

He was a club option for this year and this saves us $4.25 million. He was likely not going to have it picked up anyways so this lets him go out on his terms so to speak.

 

[RamWoodie]

He was ok in the defense. His retirement is on his terms and he realizes its it's time.

Now Rapp can step in. That kid shows great promise too!

there's a dead cap of $500k so the rams save $3.75m this season.

[Zodi]

Completely different player after his injury earlier in the season.

That half-mil is no small thing.

 

[Karate61]

Weddle sucked for the Rams. I'm so happy he's gone! Bring back JJ!

 

[yrba1]

It's fine, glad he retired to spare us the trouble of dealing with a tight cap space; wish him the best of luck

Now about Brandin Cooks...

so the dead cap disappears if the player retires?

[Merlin]

It was time. He looked small and wary of hits after that concussion. Was just a different guy and I get it btw cannot blame him for that.

Good luck to him and family.

So if we traded/wood chucked Goff, Aaron Donald and Gurley how much would we have more in Cap space in 2020? 15%?

Answer: Enough to Chuck a lot of wood.

Plus the Rams cap space re figured!

NRC has a Ram club option would put $4.50 million back into the cap.
Malcolm Brown & Clay Matthews would be another $4.74 mil.

If the Rams elect to offer RFA DL'er Morgan Fox & CB Donte Deayon the lower #3 tier priced $2,144,000 tender for 2020. About $4.9 million
