You see the headline with “cap casualties” and then a picture of Andrew Whitworth and then maybe think “Oh no,” but the reality is that not many 40-year-olds have played in this league. And when the next offseason hits, retirement or moving on may simply be arriving on schedule and if that happens the Los Angeles Rams would save $5.3 million off of his $11.1 million cap hit.
A June 1 cut, if that’s available, saves $7 million.
What else can the Rams do with their 2021 contracts to free up additional money, if necessary?
