Some more cap hits:

Ahkello: $1.255 mil
Landman: 1.1
Rivers: 1.1
Murch: 1.03

All of these are at or close to the minimum and each replaces a $960k cap hit in the top 51, so not much change to the cap at all with these signings...

Wonder when the Stafford numbers will be out, odd that we are still waiting, plus we have the Kupp relief in June.

With Stafford, i think they've agreed in principle but haven't actually done the deal so who knows when we see those numbers? And if the deal adds to the cap, maybe they wait, what's the rush?

The way OTC and Spotrac are counting Kupp doesn't make any sense, for different reasons but i imagine we'll land on a consensus number at some point.

At first i thought the Rams were close to zero in cap space but now i think maybe it's more like $15 mil. Still, it's a bit of a mystery, to me anyway...

Thinking about this a little more, i think OTC is scoring it right if Kupp is not a June 1st cut. They've dumped his salary and are using the full dead cap number. Doing it that way, Rams have about $20 mil in cap space.

If Kupp is a June 1st cut (as has been reported but may not have been what the transaction wire said), Rams have about $12 mil in cap space now which will go up another $15 mil June 1st.

That's my latest take anyway...

How much will they need for the new draft class? I imagine that will take a chunk of the salary cap.

According to Spotrac, Rams draft class is only projected to add $3.6 mil to the Rams top 51 cap number...

Assuming i'm reading this right, Kupp was not a June 1st cut. This means Rams have about $18 mil in cap space and it will not go up June 1st...

Pastoors confirmed that the Rams will take on $22.26 million in dead money in 2025 from releasing Kupp, but said he is off their books in 2026.

Spotrac has finally updated their Rams page and have us with $18.6 mil in cap space. That's about $1k more than OTC. So i think we have usable number now, roughly $18 mil...

[Elvis]

Reeder signed for the minimum, adds about $40k to the cap...

Is Stafford's new contract on there?

Is Stafford's new contract on there?

Still the old number, just under $50 mil.

No idea if it's gonna go up or down when the adjusted contract hits, but i'd guess cap hit goes up.

Last report was it isn't signed yet...
