Overt at OverTheCap.com playing around with salary cap and some scenarios. Assuming Whitworth comes back at something close to $10M I have a pretty hard time seeing any of the three defensive starters (Littleton, Fowler, Brockers) returning.
This is after:
- restructuring Goff
- extending AW for one year, $9.5M
- extending Christian and Blythe for two years each
- extending Zuerlein for one year
- trading Havenstein and Everett
- releasing Malcolm Brown
- RFA tenders for Mundt, Fox and Deayon
After these moves and with a rookie draft pool estimate of $4.4M they'd have roughly $14.5M left. Maybe Deayon and/or Fox are not tendered but that $2-4M tacked back on still won't allow them to keep Littleton and sign a couple other bargain FAs. It could, though, let them sign a FA left guard in the $5-7M range and maybe an edge guy in that same range.
Just some thoughts.
Did you restructure Goff's contract to free up the entire $16M?
How much did you project for Christian and Blythe?
Mundt is unrestricted free agent that will only cost $660k. That's a no brainer signing IMO. But neither Fox or Deayon are worth $2M plus.
Also, I think that the Rams will have nearly $8M to rolloever from the 2019 cap that Overthecap isn't factoring in yet. Spotrac is factoring that in and they have a higher 2020 cap number for the Rams.
