The LA Rams are rapidly approaching March 10, 2020, 1:00 pm PT deadline to extend either a franchise or transition tag to outgoing free agents. Based on weekly LA Rams podcast released on March 4, 2020, team general manager Les Snead doesn’t anticipate the Rams using either, despite the risk of losing outgoing players to the higher bidding.
The next important date, and one which carries an even greater impact to the team, is the March 18, 2020, 1:00 pm PT deadline where teams must exercise all options in player contracts, submit all qualifying tender offers to Restricted Free Agents (RFAs), submit all minimum qualifying salary offers to Exclusive Restricted Free Agents, and be under the 2020 Salary Cap with the Top 51 paid players.
