The Los Angeles Rams are only officially on the hook for $4.1 million of dead cap hits in 2024—the money against the salary cap that you owe for players no longer one the team—which is the lowest amount in the NFL, per OvertheCap.com. Already that seems wrong because, “What about Aaron Donald?”, a retired player with $25 million against the books for 2024.
If Donald’s amount is included then the $29 million in dead cap would essentially tie the Dolphins, Lions, and Raiders for the 13th-most dead cap in the NFL this season.
