Rams have 2025 commitments of $47.6 million to Stafford, $22 million for Adams and Atwell, and $17.9 million to Kevin Dotson. The Rams also have $50 million in dead cap, according to Spotrac.com, an amount due to the departures of players like Cooper Kupp and Jonah Jackson.

Thus, the Rams have $20.7 million in cap space. The Rams still need to sign their 2025 NFL Draft class.

Believe it or not, the Rams are still paying off Aaron Donald's deal as the future Hall of Famer enters his second year of retirement at $9 million against the cap. Kupp has a dead cap hit of $22 million, Joe Noteboom has one of $10 million, and Jonah Jackson is the other big expense at $8.5 million.(I swear, even w NoteDoom gone, he's still hurting us!)

The good news for our Rams is that we have the smallest draft pool in the NFL. That means they'll have the cheapest rookie class at $6.7 million, according to Over the Cap. Several things helped achieve the cheap new players.

Trading away the 26th overall selection played a big role, and not selecting a quarterback did as well.
The Rams also drafted only six players after using picks to trade up twice.

*If Darious Williams is moved off of the Rams, the Rams cap space goes up to about $19 million.

So, do we cut DW and then sign Ramsey? For me, I'd much rather sign Asante Samuel Jr. (from the Chargers, dude is good and only 25)

I'm confused,, are we talking 2025 or 2026 ?
