“Where do the Rams keep getting all this money from?”
That’s the question many fans are asking after seeing the Rams pay yet another star. It’s a valid question, too, considering the NFL has a salary cap that each team has to stay under.
This offseason alone, the Rams paid Matthew Stafford, Allen Robinson, Bobby Wagner, Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp. The total value of those contracts is $431.5 million, a massive amount of money allocated to just five players. And when it comes to guaranteed money, that sum is north of $310 million; this is total guarantees, not guaranteed at signing.
