With so much cap going to so few players on every roster it's becoming like the college ranks. You're lucky if you have a started for 4 years now.

Older players wait around, all summer, waiting for a place to hook on.

Not sure the vets understood how the last CBA set them up for this.

WHo are these players on the Rams eating up "so much cap" I wonder...seems we are cntent to let the good ones walk....after playing on the tag for a year or 2..

To answer your question check this out, RFIP.

Top 8 players currently consuming $87.5 million of $177 million cap. Over 49%, IOW.

And the following are gonna need to be extended within the next few months or they’re gonna be UFA’s in ‘19:

AD
Cooks
Peters
Saffold

Gurley and Goff are then just around the corner.

Do the math considering the talent and costs of the above. Even with a cap projection of $200 million by ‘20, one can see that something’s gotta give.

The Rams seem prudent to attempt to hold salary costs down where and when they can, don’t you think?
