Rams salary cap update after two weeks of NFL free agency

[ASFN Admin]

It’s been a busy start to the offseason for the Los Angeles Rams, who have improved both offensively and on defense in the last month. They had plenty of cap space to work with entering free agency and they’ve used it strategically, making big additions with the signings of Davante Adams, Poona Ford and others.

Most recently, they brought back Larrell Murchison and Ahkello Witherspoon, and also signed former Falcons linebacker Nate Landman. So where do the Rams stand financially after all these moves?

Rams salary cap space​

Here’s an update on the team’s salary cap situation, though several contracts aren’t yet finalized so it’s an unofficial total. According to Over The Cap, the Rams have $21.2 million in cap space.

It is worth noting that Cooper Kupp was designated a post-June 1 cut, so the Rams won't see the savings from that move until June. Over The Cap lists Kupp's dead cap charge as $22.3 million in the meantime.
