The LA Rams have not cut or traded any players yet (as far as we can tell), so as we have expected all along, the only route remaining was to restructure, or outright rework, contracts of existing players. No, it’s not some magic trick like a pocket full of magic beans, but rather it pushes salary dollars that were hitting the 2021 salary cap into the 2022 or beyond salary cap.
And that is both the boon and the bane.
Per NFL Network’s Omar Ruiz, ‘about five or six Rams’have restructured their contracts
We mentioned during Free Agency Frenzy @nflnetwork a handful of #LARams have restructured their contracts to allow some salary cap space flexibility, @RapSheet providing some of the names https://t.
