It's the old adage "follow the money:"

-Rams don't want to absorb $49.67M in dead cap, even if it's spread over 2 years (they already have $19.66M in dead cap next year for Donald and Noteboom, of all people)
-Stafford walks aways from $23M in new money by retiring before next season

I don't understand how come we got a cap hit for 10/mil on Noteboom,
when he renegotiated a new contract for 2024,
and took less money for guaranteed money,
and his contract 2025 & 2026 has been voided?

Spotrac is stating we have 57/mil in cap space not including NB 10/mil cap hit.

So that would be at 47/mil.

One thing I understand about the salary cap is, I have a hard time understanding it.

They get 5 M savings for Noteboom if he's a post-June 1 cut. They're still on the books for 5 M in dead money if they cut him that way. If he's not a post-June 1 cut, then they save nothing and have 10 M in dead money.

BTW as long as we're here, if they cut J.Jackson before June 1 they save 3+ M but are on the books for 11+ M in dead money. But if he's a post-June 1 cut, they have 5+ M in dead money but save 9 M.

Teams can have up to 2 post-June 1 cuts. In my Rams utopia, they cut both JJ and NB post-June 1, which saves 14 M although they also carry 10 M in dead money.

Then. Draft tackles.

They also have to sign A.Jackson. He's listed as a top 50 NFL FA by PFF.

As Zn pointed out, they can split the $10M in dead cap over 2 years.

The reason why there's $10M in dead cap is remaining signing bonus proration ($2M/yr x 2 void contract years) and restructure bonus proration ($3M/yr x the 2 years) from his contract extension in 2022.

Last year, Noteboom took a $8.5M pay cut for $6M guaranteed ($5M base + $1M salary for this year).

The only thing I do know is that I don't know.

No question that Matthew is our QB1. I did notice during the game though that play clock management was much smoother with LaFleur/Jimmy G , than normal. Curious as to the why. Simpler playbook? I did notice Jimmy G using the arm band. Maybe that takes some of the complex play calling out of the equation, leading to less play clock squandering.
