It’s been a strong start to the offseason for the Los Angeles Rams, who have already signed Demarcus Robinson and Kevin Dotson to contract extensions before free agency even begins. With as much cap space as they began the offseason with, they had the flexibility to not only sign their own free agents, but also go after some of the big fish in the pond.
Even after giving Dotson a three-year deal worth $48 million, the Rams are flush with cap space. According to Over The Cap, they have $29 million left to spend this year, which accounts for Dotson’s $12.67 million cap hit in 2024.
That’s plenty of room to still sign players such as Coleman Shelton, Ahkello Witherspoon, Jordan Fuller, Alaric Jackson and others. Plus, with the way the Rams can structure contracts, they have the ability to backload contracts if they so choose, keeping a player’s cap hit lower in 2024.
There’s also the possibility of restructuring the contract of Matthew Stafford, which would open up another $19.86 million in cap room. Needless to say, the Rams have a lot of flexibility this spring as they look to make a push into Super Bowl contention.
