NFL salary cap: Rams, taking their time to adjust, remain in worst financial position

Les Snead will get the Los Angeles Rams under the salary cap by Wednesday’s deadline, but he’s taking his SoFi suite time to get there. As of Saturday afternoon, the Rams remain roughly $33 million over the 2021 salary cap, which was set at $182.5 million this week. Los Angeles will have no choice but to restructure some of their most expensive contracts, such as the ones for Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, but Snead may have to pull the trigger on releasing one or more players if the Rams aren’t able to free up the amount of cap space they’d like by moving pre-existing commitments around.
