The cap is going up from $182.5M to $208M, an increase of $25.5M.

And all the dead money for Goff ($24.7M) and Gurley ($8.4M) come off the books after this year. Another $33.1M.

So, yeah, the Rams' cap position improves by $58.6M from 2021 to 2022. But those 6 salaries I mentioned add over $73M to the cap, an net loss of around $14.4M in cap space from '21 to '22.

And not surprisingly, [overthecap.com] says the Rams are currently $14.6M over the cap for 2022.

Expect several restructures and extensions in the offseason to create a lot of cap space, but not enough to keep everyone from this list that I would want to keep.

These are the Rams' FAs this year. Assuming the Rams can create around $40M in cap space, who do you really think the Rams can afford to keep?
